Planting Tips for Better Roots
- Loosen the Soil: Prepare a deep, well-drained planting area so developing roots can expand without compacted soil or stones getting in the way.
- Sow at the Right Depth: Follow the packet directions for each crop, since seed size and planting depth vary across carrots, beets, onions, radishes, and other root crops.
- Thin Seedlings: Give young plants enough space to form full-sized roots, and keep the bed free of weeds while seedlings are small.
- Water Consistently: Maintain even moisture during germination and root development, avoiding conditions that leave the soil waterlogged.
- Plan Succession Plantings: Stagger quick-growing crops when appropriate for a longer harvest season, and use local planting calendars for the best timing.
