Beta vulgaris
BEETROOT-EGYPTIAN is as good as its word, these lovely little beets looked as though they’ve been given a quick flattening! Just 7 to 10cm across, they’re the perfect size to serve whole. This plant is quite compact, reaching just 20cm high. Equally suited for spring or autumn harvest, it’s ready in just 7 weeks. The best thing about this beet is the flavor. Very sweet, it’s as delicious to eat as it is pretty to look at. Adaptable to sandy soil, it is a premium beer with a get-up-and-grow attitude you’ll love. A plant produces good yields of purplish-red beet. Ideal for boiling, pickling, baking, & freezing. This smooth round flat shaped beet is one of the best beetroots on the market.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
