If something is statutory, it is related to or set by laws or statutes. Statutory restrictions on air pollution require drivers to have the emissions from their cars checked every few years. You might wonder what the difference is between statutory and legal. Both are adjectives and both are concerned with the law.
Beets are a root vegetable with edible roots and greens. The almost entirely edible beetroot, or table beet, is a member of the vegetable food group. More specifically, itâs a root vegetable from the botanical family Chenopodiaceae, other members of which include sugar beets, spinach, Swiss chard and quinoa.
Soil for Beets. Beets grow well in average garden soil. The best crop is achieved with pH 6.5 in a rich, sandy loam prepared with well-rotted manure and compost to a depth of 8 inches. Beets do not thrive if the pH is below 5.8. The soil should be well pulverized to remove stones and clods so that roots form well and rapidly.
