Planting PEANUT -- Green Manure


I am still in the stage of experimenting with different kinds of plants. This time I am planting peanut. More for the green manure than the nuts.


I am actually trying to find different kinds of ways to improve my soil beside using my own liquid enzyme and compost.
It's one of the sustainable ways to improve our soil from time to time. 
Actually, I want to plant clover to fix the nitrogen in the soil but I should find something locally, otherwise, I have to import  the seed. 


Thus, peanut is one alternative for me at this moment. 
And yes, this is still an experiment for me. 
I started planting about 2 months ago and so far so good, they are growing prolifically in the containers.
The ones we planted at one of the bed at our Church's front yard for the Youths Gardening Project are also growing well. I hope we will have a good harvest in another 1 month, if the Lord's willing.
  

I plant some here together with 2 new Amaryllis plants.


And more in this bed where I used to plant eggplants, but now I use it for some different plants like peanuts, rose and sugar canes plus some oregano to deter pests.
