is compost good for peas
Like most legumes, peas establish a long root run to drive them through productivity, so I start them off in root trainers â long modules that open in half â or cardboard toilet roll inners. Fill them with a good seed compost, water lightly to settle the compost down and top up. Push seeds Â¾-1in (2-3cm) in and cover with a little more compost. Itâs always an idea to sow a few too many, as insurance against birds or slugs. Water lightly and frequently. Plant them out when the roots are just starting to poke out of the bottom and the seedlings are 4-6in (10-15cm) tall.
