How does pea planting in the country

First of all, it should be noted that planting peas in the country is not a priority, however, modern gardeners are increasingly choosing this particular crop. What is the reason for this? Everything is really very simple. Peas ripen very quickly compared to other plants. Moreover, the young culture is a favorite treat of children, which also carries a lot of healthy vitamins. Planting peas in the country from ancient times attracted the older and younger generation to work together. In this article, we will take a closer look at the procedure for growing a crop.

Planting peas in the country. Useful Tips

For this culture, it is very important to choose a place on the site. The soil is recommended relatively moisture-resistant and at the same time breathable. As for the question of its composition, it is better to give preference to slightly alkaline sandy loam soil. Heavy loams are categorically unsuitable, as they tend to be a constant stagnation of water and poor gas exchange.

Peas. Landing and care

Experienced gardeners recommend taking care of the future harvest in the fall. It is at this time of year that the soil should be loosened, and then carefully digged into the depth of the fertile layer. It is important to note that on light, well-fertilized manure soils, slight loosening is allowed. It is not recommended to fertilize with manure before the direct planting of seeds, since in this case there is a high probability that the crop will branch strongly, and the harvest itself will not wait at all. Planting peas in the country also implies the use of other substances useful for growth, for example, potassium, phosphorus, etc.

Preparing seeds for sowing

• Experts recommend sowing peas as early as possible, but not in
  
  waterlogged soil. If a large amount of precipitation falls daily , it is better to postpone the sowing work and postpone the timing of planting peas to another time. Otherwise, most likely, you will not get the crop. Before directly sowing, the fertile layer should be carefully destroyed. In the north-west of our country, culture is recommended to be sown around mid-May. As for the central regions, here the terms change somewhat - mid-April. Usually, gardeners in the garden make small grooves five centimeters deep, stick seeds and lightly fill the soil with soil.
• It is important to note that particular attention should be paid to the quality of the seed. It is better to purchase it in already verified stores and to follow the expiration date without fail. Otherwise, the seedlings will not appear at all or there will be a bad crop.

Follow-up care

Then cultivation mainly consists in removing weeds and loosening the soil. When the plants reach 20 centimeters in height, you can put props. If fertilizers have not been used previously, it is advisable to also apply them at this time. Fertilizing, in turn, helps to increase the productivity and fertility of peas.
