Where is the best place to plant peas

Peas are very fond of fertile light soil and absolutely cannot stand poor soils and an excess of readily available nitrogen, keep this in mind when sowing it. Peas are quite picky about lighting, so try to place it in sunny areas, as protected from the winds as possible.

The soil for peas is preferably light, but fertile, the pH of the soil should be in the range of 6-7 units: in acidic soil, the plant will be sick and weak. Peas do not like poor soils, as well as those in which there is an excess of readily available nitrogen.

General rules for watering peas

Water with a watering can with a fine mesh or organize drip irrigation; do not allow the soil to dry out; pour warm water - just leave it for a few hours in the sun.
