Hello Charles
I have been struggling to get any decent harvests of beetroots, either in the spring or autumn. I multisow them and plant in clumps. Only some seem to establish well. They tend to swell only a little and look quite miserable with spotting on the leaves. They look like they are not rooting well.
Is there anything I could do in the spring too get heathy beetroots next year? I don’t want to give up growing them in clumps after I see the great results you get with yours!Sorry to hear this, Allotmenteer.
It sounds that you need to improve soil fertility with extra compost.A dose of liquid seaweed helps greatly in the spring, along with fleece through to end April.
Seaweed is unnecessary with good compost, helps immensely if you are just starting out. I got excellent Boltardys on soil without compost this spring…..
