Growing Silverbeet, also Swiss Chard or Mangold

As a commercial grower for many years, I never pick Silverbeet too short as the next leaves take far too long to re-grow. Also I find Silverbeet requires less fertiliser than you would expect for a plant this size. If you spray with fungicide (copper) and insecticide after picking, you will have beautiful, healthy leaves ready for picking every week. Always adhere to spray with-holding periods.
