Ok what is trifecta? Can’t I put raw eggs in soil for nitrogen?
One problem with beets is that animals love them.
Moles, mice eat the roots and rabbits, deer eat the leaves.
how do you make that soil?
Question: regarding your comments about beets needing more nitrogen, is that the same for sweet potatoes and other root vegetables ???
I know beets are cold hardy, but what about for planting? What is the night time low threshold they can sprout in? We are starting to bounce around between 34-55 every few days now at night, and 50-72 during the day.Should I hold off or can I plant mow?
Beets

I'm going to try growing my green beans beside my beets this year
That’s the nature of the beet.
As a Chef, few vegetables are better than beets. A roasted beet salad with goat cheese, walnuts, olive oil and balsamic vinegar is one of life‘s great pleasures. Looking forward to growing my own home! Thanks for the tips.
Why do beets need lots of nitrogen yet carrots need lots of phosphorus. They are both leafy. Thank you
5:57 "I harvested my beets and almost broke a tooth…" HAHAHA!!
All I can say is thank god for a gardener that can finally speak properly why do so many Garden/ Allotment YTers mumble and whisper in their videos!!
Ok I have my beets grow , cylindrical beets ,so it’s still cold but maybe in beginning May I put them in ground, so I will put tree together .Love experiment.Hope works for me, I just see video harvest that beets.
I appreciate all the details in your how-to's , Luke 🙂 . Hello from western WI btw. . I am wondering if, on the topic of keeping even moisture levels for the beets ( and most other crops ), if mulches are recommended for beets. Since it should work in our climate and am usually on more clay than sand soils ( am moving again ), I plan on doing the mulching with compost ( turns out it counts, as a soil covering ) as Charles Dowding and other no-dig & no-till growers do . Richard Perkins & Singing Frogs Farm being my other main inspirations along w principles of the back-to-eden methodology. In our climate, hay, grass or wood chips being my other mulch choices. If u ever have knowledge of whether or not mulches at all ( besides compost ) or which kinds, are recommended or not, thanks for including it. Have a blessed season !
What kind of manure would be best, chicken?
I like beet greens but hate the roots. I guess I could compost them.
What do you think about covering the beet portion of the bed with plastic until you start to get sprouts to help keep the moisture in but allow the sun in?
Thanks! I don't want the beets too high glycemic. I do want the leaves as high nutrient content and great liver detox also make much tastier keto chips than kale. So loose soil and lots of sun awesome.
I didn’t see the link in the description for the beet harvest that you mentioned. I’ll try to find it in a search.
I'm wondering what the dimensions of these raised bed boxes are? Thanks in advance!
Perfect video. I just started seeds. Have never grown beets before.
Your beeting me to death.
I thought beets was a cool weather crop. I just planted them today
After you plant your vegetable seeds, when do you add mulch and which one would you recommend?
I’m in zone 7a (Tennessee). When can I plant my beets?
Can you transplant beets if they are growing too close. I’m trying it. Beets are a super food.
Hi Luke, Do you have the harvest video that you mentioned? It's not in the description box. Thanks.
My garden was planted a few weeks ago, my first garden!
