Annonce:
- Prepare the Containers: Choose containers that are at least 15 gallons in size to provide ample space for peanut growth. Ensure the containers have drainage holes at the bottom.
- Fill with Potting Mix: Fill each container with a well-draining potting mix, leaving about 3-4 inches of space from the top.
- Plant the Peanuts: Place the peanut seeds, still in their shells, on the soil surface. Leave a few inches of space between each peanut.
- Cover with Soil: Gently cover the peanuts with a thin layer of potting mix, about 1-2 inches deep. Water the soil lightly after planting.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Peanuts require regular, even moisture throughout their growth.
- Sunlight and Warmth: Place the containers in a sunny location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Peanuts thrive in warm temperatures.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions every 4-6 weeks to provide necessary nutrients.
- Plant Care: Watch for the emergence of green shoots, which indicate that the peanut plants are growing. Continue to water and care for the plants.
- Harvesting: Around 100-130 days after planting, the peanut plants will begin to yellow and die back. Carefully dig up the plants and shake off excess soil. The peanuts will be attached to the roots. Allow the peanuts to dry in a warm, dry place for a week or two.
