Growing Information:
Sow your edamame seed directly by puching the seeds at least an inch into the soil at a spacing of 3-4″. If you’re making rows in the ground, space rows about 15-30″ apart. In containers, however, you can maintain a 3-4″ spacing all around. Keep the seeds and plant well watered, especially if you’re doing tight container spacing. Karikachi soy beans can tolerate some level of dry soil, but they will benefit from regular watering and a nitrogen fixing innoculant. Harvest when most of the leaves are dead and falling off. You can pull the whole plant up at the roots and dry under cover. After shelling, dry to about 9% moisture. They can be stored fresh in the fridge or frozen for long-term use. Stagger planting for continual harvest over the course of the summer. Beans mature in about 85 days.
