Which plants pair well with Beetroot?

Broccoli raab, Kale, Lemon balm, Shallot, Spring onion

How fast do I get my plan?

Three steps, three minutes. Type your location, measure your bed, click the veg you like. I do the rest.

Free: one bed, full annual plan, PDF export — free and no account needed. Pro (multiple beds + weather + garden calendar + push & email reminders): €4.90/month or €39/year. Premium (with AI coach Stachi): €9.90/month or €79/year.

Does it work for a balcony planter?

Yes. From a 40×20 cm balcony box to a 3×1 m raised bed — same three steps, same outcome.

Do I need an account?

Not for your first plan — creating one works without signing in. You'll need an account once you want multiple beds, your plan on multiple devices, or weather reminders.

Stachi's tip

Beetroot is one of the most rewarding root crops. Plant 'Detroit' round-shaped, 'Bull's Blood' for edible leaves too. 60 days from seed to harvest. Don't over-sow — one 'seed' is a cluster that gives 3-5 seedlings.
