A 25 foot row of Detroit Supreme beets was planted using the board method. Seeds are about two inches apart,just pressed into the soil and lightly covered with soil.Watering is by running water on the board covering the seed. Enough water seeps under to keep the seeds damp.The board is on cross pieces to insure the emerging plants do not strike the underside of the board, when germination occurs.Experience indicates that this method insures maximum germination.
