Adobe And Peanuts
Categories:
Vegetable Growing
Is adobe land good for the peanut? Is it harder to start than in other
soils or not?
It is not good at all. Peanuts require the finest, mellowest loam with
sand enough to prevent crust, and moisture even and continuous. The
surface must be kept loose so that the plant can bury its own bloom stem
and the under soil light and clean so that it will readily shake from
the nuts and not stain them. Adobe is the worst soil you could find for
peanuts.
