That way at the end of the season, I can just snip the twine off of the stakes and toss the twine+vines into the compost bin. I only do it this way because I hate the tedious process of removing dead vines from wire.Prairie Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036436697268048651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946580939498086402.post-80339724433601802982012-03-04T18:42:28.491-05:002012-03-04T18:42:28.491-05:00I don't soak, just stick them right in the gro...I don't soak, just stick them right in the ground. I save sticks and twigs and used some larger limbs and screwed them into the side of the raised bed. I then took some twine/nylon and made a kind of "cats-cradle" weaving the twine back and forth and around and up. Once the peas get climbing they take care of themselves pretty easy. <br /><br />This year I'm planting them where I had the cucs last year. I have chicken wire stapled to a frame. Really anything will do. Peas are easy.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597093453934852571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946580939498086402.post-71464248236029919702012-03-04T17:46:46.739-05:002012-03-04T17:46:46.739-05:00I haven't found a difference when I soaked my ...I haven't found a difference when I soaked my peas. I do use innoculant though. It is fairly inexpensive, goes a long way and you can use it for beans too. They used to have different types for beans and peas. Now I can only find one type at the garden center.<br /><br />As far as supporting them, it depends on how tall they are and what I have handy. I use trellis for the tall varieties and have used sticks and string for the short varieties. I say use what ever you have around.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.com
