It is very important that the soil on the plot for plantingpeas be minimally fertilized - it is enough to applymineral fertilizers and organics. It would be good to treat the soil with lime, up to 250-300 g/m2, and also add 30 g of potassium and 20 g of double superphosphate. Peas are sown approximately in the middle of spring, but at the moment when the soil is warm enough. Sowing is carried out with a certain density - low-growing peas are sown more densely, taller ones are sown less often. A bed for sowing peas is very easy to prepare. First, furrows with a depth of 5-7 cm are made along the bed. The distance between them is 50-60 cm. The furrows should be prepared in advance, a few days before planting, and a mixture of compost and ash, which is sprinkled with earth from the bed, should be added to them. After preparation and application, the depth of the bed for sowing peas should be 3-5 cm. But here, do not forget to orientate yourself on the composition of the soil! Peas are sown 15-17 pieces per each meter of the bed, that is, approximately every 6 cm. The seeds are sprinkled with earth and slightly tamped to preserve moisture. After one to one and a half weeks you will be able to see the sprouts of peas.
