Peas 14 Jun, Andre Crous (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate): What types of soil do peas like
Reply
Peas 15 Jun, Anonymous (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate): Soils range from very sandy to heavy clay, in the middle is loam. A good loamy soil with plenty of compost added to it will grow just about all vegetables. As long as you have a sufficient supply of nutrient and water you can grow things in anything, water, sand, pebble, soil, straw etc.
