Growing Peanuts - Detailed Planting and Care Instructions
PEANUTS GROWING TECHNOLOGY - PLANTING AND CARE
And again, someone will say: exotic. But if we are so willing to buy it in stores and merchants, why not grow it ourselves? Unless, of course, the white light has not converged like a wedge on potatoes
The main topic of my article is the peanut.
I am generally attracted by the process of growing exotic crops in our region. I tried, for example, to grow a peach. I doubted - a risky venture, but everything turned out easy and simple. Amazing result (photo 1)! The same with peanuts (photo 2). And my friend Vera Karlova inspired me to succeed. I dedicate this article to her memory. It's a pity: she was a smart, kind, talented woman. I managed to convey a lot from the bins of my experience.

Well, now - a detailed technology for growing this useful delicious nut.
We plant in the spring according to the potato planting scheme, for example, 40 × 40 cm. We dig holes, put in each a handful of humus and ash, eggshells and 4-5 mustard seeds. And, of course, 4-5 nuts - dry and not fried.
Mustard sprouts will sprout earlier. Immediately weed and spud the plantings a little, determine the tubercles of future bushes. Peanuts take a long time to grow, so don't worry. We focus on potatoes: as soon as the potatoes have risen, nut shoots will soon appear. Loosen, spud and do not rush to pull out mustard: this is an excellent fertilizer.
Green, round, beautiful leaves appeared - weeded, spudded, and you can water. They pulled out the mustard and laid the stems in the aisles - they mulched the wet earth. All. The peanut is growing.
Weed, weed, pull weeds. Then the plants will bloom with beautiful yellow flowers. Nuts are formed in the upper part of the tubercle and ripen very late. You need to dig out when everything was removed from the garden, well, except perhaps for cabbage.
They dug it up, shook it off the ground, tied the tops (photo 3-4) and hung them in a shed or under a shed to dry. When all the garden work is over, bring it into the house and cut the pods. Then the hardest part begins - open the pod and remove the nut.

Look closely and identify the spout of the pod. Then, pressing with two fingers (thumb and forefinger), open the pod and remove the nut (Pic 5-6).
The most pleasant thing is to dry the nuts in the oven on a brazier, not forgetting to leave them for planting next year. And enjoy delicious, self-grown organic products (photo 7).
The main components of the success of a summer resident are intelligence, diligence, perseverance, optimism. Picture 8 is our harvest.
Peanuts contain unique amino acids, vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, PP, E, biotin, linoleic and folic acids. Despite the beneficial properties, there are contraindications: raw nuts can contribute to indigestion. Peanuts are not recommended for gout, arthritis, arthrosis and other joint diseases, as well as for high blood clotting (increases the risk of thrombosis).

I grew a lot of peanuts, but I don’t know how to use it for animals and poultry, and you won’t read about it anywhere. I'm afraid to overdo it. I have sheep, goats, piglets, sows, chickens, turkeys, dogs in my yard

It is possible to feed animals and birds with peanuts, peanuts and products from it - meal, cake, flour, but, as the reader writes, it would not be overdone.
In many countries, peanuts are widely used for animal feed, especially poultry. With a low fiber content, peanuts are rich in protein. Even in meal (small pieces of a nut after distillation of oil from it) protein is 43-50%. Cake and, of course, flour are also rich in protein. In the diet of poultry, these products can significantly replace grain feed. The best results in terms of growth, productivity, and reproductive ability of birds are achieved when about 20% peanut flour or 25% meal is included in the diet. The share of cake can be brought up to 40%. The same rules apply to other pets. But more is impossible, the young may have deviations in development.
It must be borne in mind that peanut flour is susceptible to infection by a fungus that releases a potent toxin. It accumulates in the body of animals and undermines its health. So you have to look to see if the peanuts are good, especially the flour made from them.

Rania Galimovna Mukhamedzyanova writes about how she grows peanuts. Too much extra work! Plant like a bean. When the peanut sprouts and grows, it begins to bloom, the care is normal: if it is dry, water it, and also loosen it and fight weeds. As soon as it blooms, it is necessary to spud after rain or watering, like potatoes, and that's it - the harvest will be plentiful. This is how I grow it myself.
