Thanks for getting in touch & let us know how you get on. TopVeg Hi Craig

You have an interesting project - what pH is the pine extract?

optimum soil pH for peas is 6-7

peas are moderately tolerant to acidity 5.5 - 6.5

minimum pH for growth of peas is 5.5

I wonder if there is something else in the extract which is making the peas grow - like extra nitrogen?

Thanks for getting in touch & let us know how you get on.

I have found so far that the pea seeds seem to be growing better with the extract....do marrowfat pea seeds like slightly acidic conditions therefore? thanks! craig Hi top veg,

Sow them on their sides, & keep them in a warm place until you notice a sprout. Soaking the seeds for 12 hours before planting will help things along. Good luck and thanks for your question TopVeg Hello Sara

Can you tell me how long it takes for courgette to germinate? Thanks Sara Hi Top Veg,
