What is the best thing to put on young beetroot plants to promote the root growth more than the leaves

Wash beetroot and boil till soft, the skin will peel off easily, then slice into a bowl. Make a mixture of vinegar and brown sugar{I use Balsamic vinegar} and pour over beetroot and chill. You can also bake the beetroot with your roast, just like spuds or whatever.

Hi, I was just wondering what fertiliser to apply when my soil has NPK 0.65mg/kg:11mg/kg:0.16meq/100g. It is a pH6 loamy soil. Any response appreciated. Thank you

Why should you not plant beetroot and carrot together thanks

Carrots like a more sandy soil and not as much water as beets. Carrots will rot and be malformed if they have too much water adn are not drained properly. While beets love water!

I only planted bought quite advanced seedlings from a nursery and planted them three weeks ago. it looks like they are popping up out of the ground already. would this be right or have I done something wrong? they are about 2-3 cm across.

I went on holiday for a few weeks and had a friend water my garden, however they forgot. My beets came back ok but are now about to flower and I don't think they have much of a root. Should I just cut my losses, pull them out and start again?
