Peas love a trellis. When pea plants start to produce pods, they need to be given deep watering every week. They should be planted at least 2 feet deep. After that, you will need to stake them about 35 feet apart using rope.
The height of a pea trellis depends on the type of peas that you're growing. Regular peas can use a four- to six-foot trellis, while snowpeas require six to eight feet. You can trellise peas as soon as the plants emerge from the soil. It involves wrapping twine around the plants, and then tying it to your trellis. This will keep them from falling over the trellis and will make harvesting a lot easier.

Peas can thrive in shade, so make sure to plant them in pots that are permanent.
Pea seeds should be planted in a sunny area that is well-drained. Peas can be supported by netting or a tree if they are grown in a raised garden. Peas planted in raised beds should be done by spring. They can be spaced 18-24 inches apart and thinned.

How To
Organic fertilizers for garden use
Organic fertilizers include manure (compost), fish emulsions, seaweed extracts, blood meal, and compost. The term organic refers to the use of non-synthetic materials for their production. Synthetic fertilizers contain chemicals used in industrial processes. These fertilizers are commonly used in agriculture, as they can provide nutrients to plants quickly without the need for complicated preparation. However, synthetic fertilizers pose a risk to the environment and our health. In addition, they require large amounts of energy and water to produce. Synthetic fertilizers also pollute surface and groundwater through runoff. This is a problem for wildlife and humans alike.
There are many types of organic fertilizers.
* Manure is produced when livestock eat nitrogen-rich foods (a plant nutrient). It contains bacteria and enzymes that break down the waste into simple compounds that plants can absorb easily.
* Compost is a mixture from vegetable scraps, grass clippings and decaying leaves. It is high in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as well as calcium, magnesium, sulfur. It's porous so it is able to retain moisture well, and slowly releases nutrients.
* Fish Emulsion is a liquid product made from fish oil. It can dissolve oils and fats, similar to soap. It has trace elements such as phosphorous, nitrogen and nitrate.
* Seaweed Extract – A concentrated solution containing minerals extracted from kelp. It is rich in vitamins A, C and iodine as well as iron.
* Guano, excrement taken from amphibians, bats, reptiles and seabirds. It contains nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfate, chloride, and carbon.
* Blood Meal is the meat and bones of animals that have been slaughtered. It's rich in protein and can be used to feed poultry and other animals. It also contains trace mineral, phosphorus as well as potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
Make organic fertilizer by combining equal parts manure, fish emulsion, and compost. Mix well. If you don't have all three ingredients, you can substitute them one for another. If you have only access to the fish oil emulsion, then you can combine 1 part fish emulsion and 2 parts compost.
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the soil with a shovel, or tiller. About a quarter of a cup of the fertilizer is needed per square foot. To see new growth, you will need to apply more fertilizer every 2 weeks.
