A light rich soil is essential to the production of good beets. In preparing the garden, dig in 
a generous supply of well-rotted manure and a commercial fertilizer rich in potash. Fresh 
manure should never be used. The seed may be sown in the spring just as soon as the soil has 
dried out enough so that it is easily workable. Successive plantings may be made until late July. 
Sow the seed thinly In drills and cover to a depth of about one inch. At least 15 inches should 
be allowed between rows. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill; 6 pounds to the acre.
