Growing Peas Planting depth should be roughly 2 inches with a spacing of about 2 inches apart. Water well at planting and provide at least 1 inch of water per week, particularly during the flowering and pod production stages. As the temperature rises, the vines may need to be deeply watered almost every day. How […]

Legumes fix the atmospheric nitrogen, release in the soil high-quality organic matter and facilitate soil nutrients’ circulation and water retention. Based on these multiple functions, legume crops have high potential for conservation agriculture, being functional either as growing crop or as crop residue. Why does a farmer grows leguminous like peas grams and beans in […]

Pea milk may be one of the most sustainable options for your non-dairy milk choices, due to its low water requirements and the fact that it needs less fertilizer than any other option. Is pea milk good for the environment? Pea milk uses lesser water than any other milk alternative and generates lower greenhouse gas […]

After the leguminous plants utilize some of the nitrogen compounds, the rest of it is left in the soil to enrich it. Thus, planting a leguminous plant will result in nitrogen rich soil and when a cereal is grown in this soil there is increase in food grain production. Why do farmers grow leguminous plants […]

Just as they are good for us, beans, lentils and peas are also good for the environment. As they work with bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into useful ammonia or nitrates, legumes actually improve soil fertility and reduce dependence on energy-intensive fertilisers. Is pea protein good for the environment? In addition to being free of […]

Pea is a leguminous plant. Growing pea plant along with wheat crop helps in enrichment of soil due to nitrogen fixing property of leguminous plants. Will pea plant also be helpful for wheat plant How? Cultivating peas in rotation with wheat also has other benefits. Miller’s research shows an increase in soil carbon content, which […]

Pea is a legume crop; it improves soil fertility due to fixation of nitrogen by Rhizobium leguminosarum. Its early maturing fits well between crop rotation of rice-wheat and rice-maize, which makes it a profitable proposition. Why are pea plants sown after a crop of wheat is harvested? Pea plants are sown after a crop of […]

Leguminous plants possess a highly plastic root system to form nitrogen fixing nodules by means of symbiotic interaction with specialized soil bacteria. What do pea plants add to soil? Legumes — beans, peas and non-edible relatives such as clovers — give back to your garden because they have a symbiotic relationship with a soil bacteria. […]

As they grow, peas capture nitrogen from the air which they use to flourish through the whole growing season. They also ‘fix’ a proportion of this nitrogen into the soil, making them great to grow and rotate across our farms, keeping the soils healthy and contributing towards Dyson Farming’s sustainable farming system. Is pea a […]

Peas and beans are members of a huge family of plants known as legumes and one of their greatest attributes in growing is that they can fix enough nitrogen from the air to utilise during the whole growing season. They do this through a symbiotic association between the roots and soil inhabiting bacteria. What is […]

Any of these plants can be considered toxic to your dog, cat, or other small animals. Although they sound like they should be edible, sweet pea plants are not food. As a matter of fact, they contain the toxic chemical called aminoproprionitrile, which causes musculoskeletal and central nervous system problems. Can dogs eat pea plant […]

Peas tend to be self-fertile although they can be cross-pollinated. This makes maintaining a pure strain relatively easy, even on an allotment site where people nearby are growing different varieties. To avoid cross-pollination just grow different varieties in different parts of the plot separated by other crops. Are peas actually seeds? The pea (or bean) […]

Pea, Mung bean, alfalfa, broccoli, radish, clover and sunflower sprouts are just some examples of sprouts you can feed your dog or cat (and yourself), and all contain dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A and C, calcium and iron. Can cats eat pea greens? The short answer is yes! Cats can safely eat all kinds of […]

Peas are one of the earliest vegetables you can sow in the garden. It can take up to 3 months for peas to mature, so if you do not have the patience, you can enjoy a harvest of pea tendrils and tender pea shoots long before your actual peas mature. All parts of the pea […]

Peas (Zones 3-5): For Zones 3-5 and 6 depending on weather, green peas and sugar peas are good to plant in June, and will produce a great summer crop of fresh, crisp peas. What is the latest date to plant peas? Plant pea seeds approximately 6 to 8 weeks before your first fall frost date. […]

90 to 100 days. Indeterminate varieties are later in maturity, ranging from 90 to 100 days. Determinate varieties will flower for a set period and ripen with earlier maturity of 80 to 90 days. Field pea is sensitive to heat stress at flowering, which can reduce pod and seed set. How long does it take […]

snow pea pods. The snap pea, also known as the sugar snap pea, is an edible-pod pea with rounded pods and thick pod walls, in contrast to snow pea pods, which are flat with thin walls. What are the different types of pea pods? There are basically three types of peas: English peas, snow peas, […]

Many legumes, like peanuts, grow their pods underground like most forage legumes. Other legumes, like green beans and peas grow their pods above ground on vines. How do pea plants grow? These plants need full sun and soil that drains well. They need less fertilizing than many other vegetables, so adding a little compost to […]

Vegetables such as pea pods are dense with these nutrients, as well as being low-calorie, low-fat and cholesterol-free. Eat them raw as a snack or combine them with other vegetables in stir-fries to give your diet a boost of nutrition. Are pea pods good for weight loss? If you are trying to lose weight or […]
