Instruction
1. Table beet can be sowed in two time - after grain-crops and in the middle of May. In the first case you receive harvest for summer use, crops of the second term will give root crops for the winter.
2. Place this cultures after white cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes. Besides, it is possible to land beet not only on single sites, and and as sealant of other vegetables - cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes.
3. You carry out preparation of the soil just as for carrots. On poor lands during spring digging up bring compost or humus at the rate of 25-30 kg on 10 m². Well loosen the site.
4. Before crops kill Semyon for 48 hours in water of room temperature. It is possible to keep sowing material in ashes infusion (two matchboxes on water liter) within 4-6 hours. Thanks to such processing the seeds ascend better.
5. Sow beet rows at distance of 30 cm, with depth of crops of 3-4 cm. Condense soil with the return side grabel. In 5-7 days loosen row-spacings on depth of 4-6 cm.
6. Make thinning when beet has the second real leaf. Between plants leave distance within 3-4 cm. Remote escapes can be landed on other beds.
7. Thin out table beet again when there comes the phase of 4-5 real leaves (diameter of root crops has to be 1.5-2 cm). Leave distance between plants within 6-8 cm. Strongly you should not thin out as in this case beet grows quite big and unsuitable for the use.
8. Do not forget about fertilizing. After emergence of 3-4 real leaves on 1 m² bring solution of 1 tablespoon to nitrophoska on 10 l of water. On achievement by root crops of 2.5-3 cm in the diameter they are fed up again (about 7 l of water on 1 m²) solution of chicken dung (2 kg of solid matter on 10 liters of water). Between these substerns you oprysnit bed urea solution (tablespoon on 10 l of water).
9. Water beet in process of drying of the soil, depending on air temperature, it is not too abundant, but also so that moisture was enough.
10. Systematically you loosen row-spacings, destroy weeds. If the bed is attacked by ants or weevils, strew it with the hot ashes or special medicines intended for fight against these wreckers.
11. You make cleaning of beet earlier, than carrots because its root crops acting over the surface of the soil are easily damaged by frosts. The standard size of root crops to cleaning has to be from 5 to 10 cm in the diameter.
12. Beet possesses good lezhkost, but after time is wrinkled because of dehydration. If you have no opportunity to regulate humidity and temperature in storing place, pour root crops slightly damp sand.
