HOW TO GROW PEAS

IN A RAISED BED

Raised garden beds are simply gardens that are slightly higher than the surrounding native ground. 

“

Peas require a minimum of twelve inches between rows for the best growth. Work your soil six to eight inches deep using a spade or tiller.

“

Sow peas 1 ½ inches deep to dissuade birds and other seed eaters from discovering them. Plant them two inches apart along the row.

“

Trellises are also a good practice to maximize your space. Peas are natural climbers and if you do not use trellises, they will start climbing on the other plants around them.

“

Peas do not require too much watering, an inch per week is adequate. However, if your area is prone to drought, water your peas more frequently.
