  • In this video, I demonstrate how to grow peas and show the full process including how to build a simple pea structure. Peas are the most wonderful crop and tasting delicious sweet peas straight from the pod, right off the plant, is an experience that I doubt can be improved. This is the simple guide on how to grow your own peas at home.

      the big issue i have with the gutter method is that it takes much space. I've got a tray with 300 pods of an inch by an inch, which i can easily place indoors or in a little greenhouse i've built solely for quickly making sprouts from seeds. The extra warmth speeds things up by alot and after a week or 2, the pods can be pulled out without damaging the roots (much), you'll need far less compost to get things started this way too.

      I don't use the gutter method for peas, I use it for Bush beans, in fact that's the best plant to use this method on. No spacing required just dump the beans randomly it down matter of there not spaced they grow fine.

    I saw this method last year on a gardening website and really want to try it this year. I have the worst rodent problem so I cannot direct seed anything. One year I planted hundreds of seeds in a 30 foot bed and got a grand total of 5 plants that survived. Last year I planted out seeds I started inside and grew to several inches tall and finally had my first successful pea crop but it was so much work planting each individual plant. This will be so much more efficient!

      My kids invited friends few years back and asked if they could pick some peas. When I checked, they got all of them. I wasn´t mad since they were 7yo and they said they tasted wonderfully. So the next year, I planted a 10m by 8m field and invited them over again. Well, the field was gone in half a day again. Now it´s almost a tradition.

    Hey Huw! The method you describe in this video is genius. I have added my own stroke of genius in the form of drip watering my snow peas. I could not find any old guttering so I purchased 1.5m of black drainage pipe that has a removable open grid top for less than $20 AUD. It has two open ends, and I put it under a dripping tap planted out just as you suggested on a gentle slope on a concrete path. It fits out of sight behind a cast iron and wooden garden bench seat. This method was 100% successful, as gravity guided the water through the compost that I used as the growing medium in the black draining pipe. In some ways it acted as a swale with the overflow, eventually finding it's way to watering a 40 year old everbearing lime tree a few meters away even though I put two bricks at each end to protect my little seedlings from being eaten. The best part is I can use it over and over again! Cheers!
