My subtleties preserve beets until the summer: do not wither, do not germinate, rot

Some of his tricks that I use to store the vegetables until the next season, I have described in previous articles about the storage of carrots, cabbage, potatoes. In beet also has its own requirements that must be taken into account. And I tell you how to lay on storage, which create the conditions, and most importantly - that applyTo start not germinate or rot.

Start at the beginning - that we must not forget to do immediately after the harvest dug. The tops should be cut off immediately without giving even a little lie down, together with the purification of the earth roots. But first, the tops should be cut as straight from the roots, and slightly left on during drying - 2-5 cm. When considered opportune time for harvesting beets I wrote earlier, can be found on my channel.

After excavation and primary crop tops should be left in the sun and dry weather outside to dry. It is desirable not to forget to turn every two hours. I dry usually on the lawn, where puffs laid straw, as a basis for better ventilation and the bottom at the same time too. If you dug the morning, in the evening we clean the shed or other premises where another week lies beets cardboard substrate or also on the straw.

Over this time she propoteet, The remaining part of the leaves dry up, peel thickens. Remove the dried tops and existing storage space in the basement or cellar.

Required storage room needed zoning. Unwanted vegetables and fruits as neighbors for beet are apples, pumpkins, pears. Good Neighbors - potatoes, carrots.

What store - everyone chooses. I have kept in wooden boxes at the bottom of blind boxes are always rolling in the sand layer. Boxes put on top of each other to get a little to limit air circulation to prevent desiccation. The top drawer is hidden. To avoid misting roots and subsequent rotting side slit boxes stay open. Some talked about the successful storage in burlap, but in them my experience was not very impressive.

ConditionsWhich are preferred for beet: 80-90% humidity and temperatures of from 0 to 3.4 degrees. If both parameters are greater than the upper scale, the roots will dry, rot and grow. For the basement I bought a thermohygrometer and determined to follow the terms of last year. The humidity level I have always been lower than normal, so I put a bucket of water, so that there was no weight loss due to drying of vegetables.

from rotting Beet I have another trick. I hung around the perimeter beams of mint. But in the middle of winter mint completely ceases to smell. Decided to try it last winter to drip on the pair drops of peppermint essential oil and 4-5 cotton discs such decomposed into different angles about the same distance from each other. Very strange, unusual way to save all the stored crop, but this method works, it is checked by me personally. Vegetables do not rot and does not germinate. Read more about the experience of scientists with essential oils and how you can replace the mint I told in the article about the storage of potatoes.

If you tell us about their unique way of storage - we are grateful for the experience and ideas!
