Soybeans grow well in pots at least 30 cm deep to accommodate their root systems.

Plant soybeans alongside heavy feeders like corn to take advantage of the nitrogen they leave in the soil.

Gute Pflanzpartner

• Mais — They are classic companions in agricultural systems where corn provides structure and soy fixes nitrogen.
• Summer Savory — It is said to improve the flavor of beans and deter certain pests.
