what soil do beets grow in
Growing Beets - Necessities. 1  Containers - Beets have always been prized for their ability to grow in almost any climate or soil condition, so naturally they are also well suited for container gardens. 2  Potting Soil - You'll find that beets can adapt to a variety of soils, but they will do better when the right conditions are provided. Beets, like many other root crops, do best in potting soils that are free of pebbles, rocks and hard clumps. These soil obstructions can cause beet roots to become deformed. As they are heavy feeders, beets will also need an initial potting soil with high nutritional value.
