How to use

Prepare a sunny to partially shaded bed with loose, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Sow seeds directly into the ground in rows or patches at the recommended depth for beet seed (shallow sowing), spacing seedlings after emergence to allow roots to develop. Thin plants to the appropriate distance once true leaves appear. Keep soil consistently moist during germination and early growth, and reduce watering as roots mature. Follow local sowing dates for spring and autumn crops to match your climate.

Usage recommendations

Sow in shallow drills and thin to recommended spacing for medium-sized roots; avoid heavy nitrogen fertilisation to prevent excessive leaf growth at the expense of root development. For prolonged harvest, perform successive sowings at intervals recommended for your region.
