  Planting

Sow the seeds directly on the ridges or beds.

Plant your cowpeas seeds 1 to 1.5 inches deep into the soil and 2 to 4 inches apart from each other.

Leave at least 30 to 36 space in-between two rows to provide each plant adequate space to grow.

Germination may occur within 8 to 10 days after planting.

Provide 70 to 80 F temperature to your seeds, if you want to speed up the germination period.

Make sure that the planting place is getting full sunlight a day and the drainage system is working appropriately.

After accomplishing the whole planting process, you need to take appropriate care of your plants and protect them from weeds, pests and diseases, among others.
