    How to Grow Peas in Containers

    Materials

    • Large planting container with drainage holes (8 to 18 inches deep)
    • Plastic screening, coffee filter, or porous landscape fabric
    • Potting soil
    • Fertilizer (if needed)
    • Pea seeds

    • Support structure
    1. Prepare Your Container

      Cut a piece of plastic screening large enough to cover the drainage hole in the bottom of the container you've chosen.

    7. If you don't have screening, you can use a coffee filter or a piece of porous landscape fabric to cover the drainage hole.

      Tip

      If your container is enormous, fill the bottom third with empty, clean plastic containers, soda bottles, milk jugs, or any insoluble lightweight thing that will take up space without impeding water flow.

      It saves money on ​potting soil and keeps the container light. Separate the soil from filler material with a sheet of plastic screening or porous landscape fabric; cleanup will be easier at the end of the season.

    8. Fill Your Container With Potting Mix

      Pour potting mix into your container; stop filling
