- Prepare seed bed with compost, worm castings or manures.
- Sprinkle field peas (available from stockfeed or produce stores) over seed bed and cover lightly.
- As the peas grow, tender shoots can be harvested for fresh salads and stir fries.
- Dig in the crop as it starts to flower and the foliage is green to a depth of at least 20cm.
- Planting of vegie crops can begin within a few weeks.
- Alternatively allow the crop to produce and trim off foliage at ground level and lay back on top of the soil.
