Cultural practices : Seed ribbons - presumed We invite you to discover the range of "presemés": it is seeds arranged between two very thin layers of biodegradable fibers. In this way, they are exactly at the right density and you do not overdose your seedlings. In addition, nothing more simple: make a little furrow, lay down the pre-cut ribbon to the required length, moisture it and cover it with a thin layer of soil. Water. Wait. Admire. Easy no?

Soil : light and slightly sandy soil with a pH of 6.0 or higher. The soil should be free of stones and clumps to allow the proper development of the root system. Work the soil thoroughly with compost or manure.

Spacing : sow 1 cm deep. Clear plants 8 cm apart on rows, spaced the rows at least 30–40 cm apart

Growing tips : heavy rains after a long period of dry weather will result in poor root colour. These drought periods will also cause tough or woody roots. Keep the beets well-watered. A full sun exposure is ideal.

Harvest : beets are tender as soon as they reach half their size, but harden when they become larger. When the plants are young, the leaves make delicious greens.
