How to Grow Cowpeas from Seeds
- Soak – Optional: Soak seeds for 6–8 hours to speed up germination.
- Sow – Plant seeds 1–2 cm deep, spacing them 3–4 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches wide.
- Sunlight – Provide full sun exposure (6–8 hours daily).
- Watering – Keep soil moderately moist during germination; reduce frequency as plants mature.
- Support – Bush varieties need no support; climbing types may benefit from light staking.
- Care – Add compost or organic fertilizer once a month. Cowpeas naturally improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen.
- Harvest – For fresh pods, harvest when young and tender. For dry beans, let pods mature and dry fully before picking.
