sounds good what soil does it like or will it grow anywhere

 

[Great In Grass]

So far as I know both varieties suit most soils, Magnum good winter hardiness, Enermax slightly more leaf and stands prouder out of the ground more, can't go wrong with either. I'd put my name on some if I were you.

We grow Magnum for lifting with a conventional 6 row harvester and Enermax for gracing in situ, or you could lift it with a top lifter (armer Salmon)

Need to look up how much the seed was. Went for gaucho as lots of aphids about possibly carrying over Beet Yellows virus
