How to Grow

Soya beans have a distinct dislike for cold, wet soils, so sow seed only after the soil has warmed to at least 16 degrees Celsius. Sow 1" deep and 3" apart in rows spaced 18 to 28" apart. To ensure a continuous harvest, sow bush-type varieties every 10 days until mid-July. Keep beans evenly watered, particularly when the plants are in flower and when production of the pods start. Avoid the use of high nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen produces excessive foliage.
