Question

Can Peanuts restore nutrience within the soil. If the soil was damaged.Would it be good to grow it in the Perth Region?

Answer 1

If you have a long enough growing season yes. all legumes add nutrients.

Answer 2

yes peanuts are great at fixing nitrogen into the soil

Answer 3

Don't know about Perth, but peanuts( legumes) do replenish nitrogen to the soil, plus smaller amounts of other nutrients......I wouldn't think Perth Or Albania would be any difference.

F$ck George Washing Carver

Answer 4

Thank George Washington Carver. He is the one who realized that peanuts, like other legumes, have nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots and could replenish the soil depleted by years of growing nothing but cotton. The nitrogen, incidently comes from the air, where it is plentiful but unavailable to the plants. In order to make planting peanuts economically feasible, Carver developed a large number of products that could be made from them. Think of him the next time you have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

However, peanuts only take care of one problem. If the soil is deficient in another nutrient, in organic matter, or water, you have to fight those problems; all the nitrogen in the world won't help if another factor is the limiting one.
