| Beetroot usually grows well anywhere. I use pig, cow, or horse manure (whatever I can get) and chook manure pellets and blood and bone. Dig it to a spades depth. They like full sun too. Marshall |

| By chance are your beets planted too close together? I always leave 4 inches between seeds. I use very organic soil kept very loose by spading, and usually pull them at smaller than the size of a tennis ball as I believe they are sweeter when smaller. Regards - Jim in So. California |
