First Step: Picking the Correct Peanut Seeds

Selecting premium, untreated peanut seeds should come first. Raw, unprocessed peanuts can be bought online, at gardening supply stores, or at your neighborhood grocery shop. Verify that they haven’t had any chemical treatment, roasting, or salting.

Step 2: The process of germination of the peanut seedsTo soak the peanut seeds, put them in a bowl of water and leave them there for a whole day. This promotes faster germination and helps to soften the seed coat.

Plant the seeds: In your garden plot or container, sow the seeds 1 to 1.5 inches deep after soaking. Arrange them in rows about 4 inches apart, so that the rows are about 24 inches apart.

Preparing your soil: Make sure it is loose, well-draining, and full of organic materials. To increase the fertility of the soil, incorporate compost and organic fertilizer.

Step 3: Taking Good Care of Your Peanut TreesWatering Make sure the soil is constantly damp but not soggy. Peanuts require one to one and a half inches of water per week, more so in the stages leading up to flowering and pod production.

Mulching: To keep the soil moist and prevent weed growth, cover it with a layer of mulch. In moist soil, this helps keep the peanuts from decaying.

Fertilization: When planting and again when the plants begin to bloom, apply a balanced organic fertilizer.

Pruning: As peanut plants enlarge, an excessive number of branches may sprout. To promote wholesome growth and optimize peanut yield, prune them.

Step Four: Collecting Your NutsWhen to harvest: Depending on the type and growing circumstances, peanuts can be harvested 120 to 150 days after planting.

Examine the pods to see if your peanuts are ready to be harvested. To do this, carefully dig up a single plant. They ought to have become plump and darkened in maturity.

Harvest: Shake off any loose soil after carefully digging up the entire plant. After removing the peanuts from the plant, give them a day or two in the sun to dry.

Cure the peanuts: Make sure the peanuts are shielded from the rain and let them air dry for two to three weeks.
