1. Choose A Site

​

Choose a site or pot with loose, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Beetroot particularly likes deep sandy soil if possible.

Make sure not to plant them where other brassicas (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnips, kale, kohlrabi) have grown in the last 3-4 years to avoid disease.
