How to Grow Peanuts in Soil from Store-Bought Nuts

Ingredients:

  • Raw peanuts (unsalted, unroasted)
  • Well-draining soil
  • Large pots with drainage holes
  • Balanced fertilizer

Instructions:

  1. Prep Peanuts:
    • Soak raw peanuts in water for 8-12 hours to encourage germination.
  2. Soil:
    • Use well-draining soil. Fill large pots with this soil, ensuring each pot has drainage holes.
  3. Plant:
    • Plant pre-soaked peanuts 1-2 inches deep in the soil. Space them 6-8 inches apart for optimal growth.
  4. Sunlight:
    • Place pots in a sunny spot that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
  5. Water:
    • Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water the plants regularly to maintain consistent moisture.
  6. Fertilize:
    • Apply a balanced fertilizer occasionally to support healthy growth.
  7. Care:
    • Monitor the plants for yellow flowers, which will develop into pegs. These pegs will grow into peanuts underground.
  8. Harvest:
    • Dig up the plants when the leaves turn yellow. Allow the peanuts to dry for 1-2 weeks.
  9. Store:
    • Remove peanuts from their pods and store them in a cool, dry place. Enjoy your homegrown peanuts!
