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°C. Sow 2.5 cm deep and 8 cm apart in rows spaced 45 to 70 cm 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 promotes excessive foliage. Germination takes 3-5 days.
