Soya beans are annual plantings that grow and produce their yield and then die back at the end of the growing season. Soya beans plants are relatively easy to grow and are similar to well-known varieties of bush beans and are planted much the same way. They are nutrient-rich complete proteins that provide calcium, vitamins A and B, and are the only vegetable that consists of nine amino acids.

Seeds selection is essential when planting soybeans. Many soybeans are pre-treated with insecticides and fungicides as seeds. Take the extra step to ensure that the seeds that you are working with are free from these chemical agents before planting in your organic garden bed. That is why we recommend this.

Planting Soya beans

Soya beans require a long growing season. Much like traditional bush beans, they grow between 1 to 3 feet tall and do not need staking.

The best way to plant soya beans is by directly sowing the seeds into the garden bed. Plant the seeds approximately 1 1/2 inches deep in the soil about 6 inches apart in narrow rows and then cover the seeds loosely with garden soil. Water in well. It is essential that the soil moisture is adequate and that there is no risk of frost when you plant.

Consider staggering your planting times. Sow soya bean seeds about 10-12 days after your first round of planting so that you can enjoy a second harvest.
