Just rounding up the beet loader soil again! It’s still absolutely saturated. We try and mix it in with muck and spread it in the summer. This year we seem to have tons of it! How do you all deal with it? Some years I’ve managed to get it back on to the beet field before ploughing for wheat. But this year there was just too much and it was too wet to do it.

Spread it thinly on beet pad to dry out and then fill up field corners after harvest, as long as the field isn’t coming for beet following season. Makes beautiful topsoil rotten beet, tops and soil.
