I started my beets in home-made plant starters. I used newspapers that I rolled up and stuffed with a mix of topsoil and compost. Once I had leaves that were about 2 inches, I unrolled the newspaper and planted the "pods" into my raised beds (they are 1 1/2 feet deep). They raised beds have the same top soil/compost ratio. My beets are doing fantastic and I will be ready to harvest this weekend.
I used the same plant starters for most of my veggies this year and they are all doing very well.
