Growing peas, if applying the right techniques from sowing, care to harvesting, will help the plant grow healthily and achieve high productivity.
Housewives should spend time planting and caring for trees not only to create a green space for the house but also to help relax and relieve stress after a long busy day.
Peas have simple home care conditions, so housewives can refer to planting plants in styrofoam boxes to help save space, limit pests and ensure a clean food source for the family.
First of all, housewives need to prepare all the tools including a medium-sized foam bowl and ensure that there is a drainage hole at the bottom to avoid flooding.
Choose to use clay and mix it with organic fertilizer or rotten potato dung for increased nutrition. Don't forget to choose quality seeds to ensure a high sprouting rate.
Next, soak the seeds in warm water for about 30 minutes so that the seeds absorb enough water and stimulate sprouting. After soaking, remove the seeds and wrap in a damp cloth, leave in a cool place for about 24 hours until the seeds crack.
Sowing seeds 2 - 3cm deep with a distance between seeds of 5 - 7cm. After sowing the seeds, cover with a thin layer of soil and water gently to ensure moisture for the seeds to germinate.
Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but avoid flooding. Suitable waterment time in the early morning or cool afternoon. When the plant grows about 10 - 15cm high, fertilize organics or NPK to provide nutrients for the plant to grow.
Peas are known as a climber, so you need to build a raft made of bamboo, rattan or steel wire, about 1.5 - 2m high, close to the foam box so that the tree can climb.
Peas can be affected by a number of diseases such as anthills, iron failure, hoarfrog and worms. Therefore, housewives should regularly check to detect and have a way to handle it soon.
Use biological or herbal measures to prevent pests and diseases, limit the use of chemicals to ensure the health safety of the family.
After about 60 - 70 days from planting, peas can start to be harvested when the fruit is fully blown, the inner seeds are not too hard. Regular harvesting will stimulate the plants to produce new fruits, prolonging the growth time of peas.
