Edible Soybean Growing Guide


Outdoor Sowing (Directly in the Garden)

  • Timing: Sow soybean seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once the soil has warmed to at least 60°F, typically in late spring.
  • Location: Choose a sunny spot with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Soybeans prefer well-draining, moderately fertile soil.
  • Soil Preparation: Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches, and work in compost or a balanced fertilizer to improve nutrient levels and drainage.
  • Planting Seeds:
    • Sow seeds 1-1.5 inches deep, spacing them 3-4 inches apart in rows.
    • Space rows about 18-24 inches apart to allow for airflow and ease of harvesting.
  • Thinning: Not required, as seeds are spaced for mature plants.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically takes 5-7 days. Once established, water evenly, providing about 1 inch per week, especially during flowering and pod development.

Indoor Sowing (Starting Seeds Indoors)

  • Timing: Soybeans are generally sown directly outdoors. However, if starting indoors, sow seeds 2-3 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Containers: Use deep pots to allow for root growth and minimize root disturbance during transplanting.
  • Planting:
    • Sow seeds 1 inch deep, placing 1 seed per pot.
    • Cover lightly with soil mix and water gently.
  • Germination:
    • Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F for optimal germination.
    • Expect seedlings to emerge within 5-7 days.
  • Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors once soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F and after the last frost. Space plants 3-4 inches apart, with rows 18-24 inches apart.

General Care Tips for Edible Soybeans

  • Sunlight: Provide full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and pod formation. Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and reduce weeds.
  • Fertilizing: Soybeans are nitrogen-fixing and usually do not require additional nitrogen. Enrich soil with compost at planting to support growth.
  • Weeding: Keep the area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and moisture. Mulching helps control weed growth and maintain soil moisture.
  • Harvesting: Harvest soybeans when pods are plump and green, usually 2-3 months after planting. Pods should be firm but not dried out for fresh eating.
