How to Grow Peanuts at Home in Recycled Plastic Containers – A Beginner’s Guide

Use raw, unroasted peanuts in their shells.

Gently remove the outer skin without cracking the seed.

Soak seeds in water for 6–8 hours to speed up germination.

3. Plant the Peanuts

Fill your container with well-draining soil, leaving about 2 inches at the top.

Plant seeds 2 inches deep, spaced 3–4 inches apart.

Cover lightly with soil and water gently.

4. Provide Sunlight and Water

Place the container in a sunny spot. Peanuts need 6–8 hours of sunlight daily.

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water every 2–3 days or when the top inch of soil feels dry.
