Planning your site
Beetroot is best grown in a warm, sunny spot in well-drained, fertile soil whether in raised beds, containers, or in rows in the veg garden. Beetroot will swell to fit the space given to them so leave around 10cm between plants for the roundest fattest roots.
Growing tips
They need water but they are good at finding it in the soil so don’t overwater! During dry spells give them a good soak once a week but really you can leave beetroot to do it’s thing and it should be just fine. Be careful when weeding your beetroot as the fine hairs on the roots are delicate and can be damaged easily.
What to watch out for
Beetroots are really tough! Their only realy issue is erratic watering which may cause them to bolt. As long as you are relatively regular with your watering then this shouldn’t be a problem.
What to do when your plants arrive
- Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
- Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
- Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
