READY, SET,

PREP GROWIN GMEDIA

Soak the coco brick in 1 gallon of warm water. Coir will expand to 2 gallons of ready to use coir potting mix. Drain well. Hydrate organic soil wafers by adding water a little at a time. Once hydrated, mix the coco coir and soil until well blended. Add mixture to grow bag.

PLANT SEEDS

The beet “seeds” in your packet, are actually pods that contain several seeds. Soak 12 pods overnight.
After soaking, use your finger to make 6 holes, about 1 inch deep spaced evenly in your container.
Plant two seeds per hole. Cover with soil and pat lightly to secure.
Place in sunny area and wait for seeds to sprout (4-7 days). Water as needed.

MONITOR LIGHT , MOISTURE , NUTRIENTS

Once seeds have germinated move to a bright sunny spot. (6+ hours of direct sunlight.).
If your seedlings grow thin and weak they are not getting enough light. You’ll know they are in the right spot when you see sturdy stems and dark leaves.
Keep moist but never soaking wet. Water every 2 days or when the top inch of soil feels dry. (Let water drain fully before placing container back into your biodegradable tray.) If leaves starts to droop, water more frequently.
To enhance growth add organic compost or worm castings after 4 weeks and continue regularly until harvest.

HARVEST

Your beets should be ready for harvest in approximately 50 days. Smaller beets are more tender and flavorful and all parts of the plant are edible
To check the size of your beets, gently uncover the soil around the shoulders (the top part of the root at the base of the stem). If you are satisfied with the size, harvest by gently pulling the root from the soil.
This can be done by grasping the base of each stem and pulling up. The root should break free easily. After harvesting, immediately wash and separate the leaves from the roots. Leaves are edible.Store leaves in the refrigerator for up to a week and enjoy in salads, stirfrys and smoothies.
Roots can be stored for up to two months in a cool and dry location.
