How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

The three main issues affecting pea and bean plants are pea moth, pea leaf weevil and powdery mildew. Rodents can also be an issue but they are mainly concerned with taking the pea seeds which won’t be an issue if you buy them from Roots because we supply the plant as a plug. To prevent pests you can cover your plants in a fine horticultural fleece. To prevent powdery mildew you should try and keep the plant dry and space plants well apart.

Water regularly

Pea and bean plants need to be regularly watered. Feel the soil and if it is dry to the touch a fingernail deep, then give the plant a watering. On hot, summer days, this means watering once a day.

Full sun

Pea and bean plants need a spot with full sun. Position them where they will receive 6-8 hours of sunlight a day.

Any fertile, well-draining soil

Thrives in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or often becomes waterlogged then you can improve the drainage by adding in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost as well as some perlite or gravel.

Feed every two weeks

Once the flowers emerge, feed the plants every two weeks with a high-potash fertiliser such as liquid tomato feed
