Bootsha 1,306 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 how high above ground do you think a pea stick needs to be boys ?? used sileage netting last year, but fancy growing some up canes this year. easier access to harvest and to weed. gonna plant two plants per stick, or more perhaps lol. i mean individual sticks now not a wigwam or such, ta Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 It depends on the variety of peas, most packets will give the height of the plant, and put the sticks to suit. TC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
