Compost must be applied in substantial quantities to heavy soils to promote healthy root growth. To prepare the soil for planting, mix in up to 2-4 inches of organic matter that has been properly composted, and then apply 2-4 cups of all-purpose fertilizer (16-16-8 or 10-10-10) per 100 square feet. Work this into the soil&#8217;s top six inches. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f72e76 subhead-img-txt-num e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"1f72e76\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d84e49 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"1d84e49\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b05c89 mt-num-h3-top e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"4b05c89\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0205fe sec-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a0205fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad40ca8 sec1-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad40ca8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Planting and Spacing<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7767c4f header2-open-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7767c4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/beets+and+cabbage+webp\/b+plnting.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"growing beets indoors\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58a3b90 header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58a3b90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beets are always cultivated from seeds. After the soil reaches 40\u00b0F, beets can be planted. It takes 7\u201314 days for seeds to sprout, and they thrive best between 55\u201375\u00b0F. Over 80\u00b0F reduces the germination of seeds. The ideal temperature for beetroot growth is no more than 85\u00b0F.

The amount of water needed varies by soil type. Adding mulch around the plants aids in retaining soil moisture. If you can, use drip irrigation. Variations in moisture lead to root breaking, poor leaf growth, and low yields. Premature flowering and poor yields are frequently caused by water stress during the first six weeks of growth.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply a nitrogen-based fertilizer (21-0-0) six weeks after emergence to promote robust growth of the plants.
