If the three categories are "Light, Medium and Heavy Feeders" why when you specify the vegetables are the categorized as "Light, Heavy and Super Heavy?"
ReplyDeleteHow about no feeder, light feeder, medium feeder, heavy feeder, super feeder, crazy feeder?
DeleteJust to be difficult.
ReplyDeleteHey Justin, nice sense of humor in last note...I found another site that claims beets are a "light feeder"...could you both be right re: different types of beets needing different levels of nutrients?
ReplyDeletethanks, "hellboy"
Hey, h.b., that site may be right. In my observation, and I grow beets every season (for my chickens, mainly), I have never seen a beet grow yellow leaves or need anything extra. I can't claim to be an expert on multiple varietie, though. Perhaps you just get bigger beets if you are better fertilized, but it can get along well with less?
