BEETROOT GET GROWING
Beetroot is an easy vegetable to grow and with just a little planning, you can enjoy beetroot from the garden for at least nine months of the year. It doesn't need a great deal of space to grow and even if you don't have a garden, it can be grown successfully in containers on a patio. When people say beetroot to you, most people instinctively think of the dark red globes, but there are other varieties such as golden and white beetroot that have a different flavour.
SOIL CONDITIONS
When it comes to soil types, beetroot isn't that fussy, although for the best results it does need reasonable drainage. Whatever type of soil you havefertiliser such as Growmore or fish, blood and bone on the ground. Avoid high-nitrogen fertiliser as it will encourage lots of leaf growth and small roots.
