How to thin carrots and beets to double your yield

Few gardeners, especially beginners, know about the importance of thinning out crops such as carrots and beets. These vegetables need a lot of space and air to grow and develop. The more root vegetables you grow per square meter, the smaller the fruits will be.

That is why sprouts that have sprouted abundantly should be thinned out. However, this should be done by following several rules.

It is recommended to thin the beds in several approaches. The first time this should be done a month after planting. At the same time, remove the smallest, weak and diseased plants.

The second thinning should be done in July. This time, the distance between the fruits should be doubled.

Agriculturalists advise fertilizing the beds after thinning. Organic fertilizers are best for this, which should be spread on the garden in a layer of 1 centimeter.

The optimal option is humus, which will not allow the soil to dry out. In addition, in this case, there is no need to carry out additional work on loosening the soil.
