Soil should be well-draining and loosened to a depth of 12 to 15 inches.Mix in a 2-4 inch layer of compost. Till soil well.Scatter turnip seed. Do not hide the seeds with more than ½ an inch of dirt.Once the seedlings are 4 inches high, thin the early types 2 to 4 inches apart and maincrop types to 6 inches apart.WATERING Water at a rate of 1 litre per week to prevent the roots from becoming tough and bitter.SOIL Turnips grow best in loamy soil with an ideal pH between 6.0 and 6.5. SPOT Select a site that gets full sun.TEMPERATURE Turnips grow best in temperatures from 4° to 24°C [40°F to 75°F].
