How to Grow
Soybean plants are fairly easy to grow — about as easy as bush beans and planted much the same way. Growing soybeans can occur when soil temperatures are 50 F. (10 C.) or so but more ideally at 77 F. (25 C.). When growing soybeans, don’t rush planting as cold soil temperatures will keep the seed from germinating, and stagger planting times for a continuous harvest.
Soybean plants at maturation are quite large (2 feet tall), so when planting soybeans, be aware that they are not a crop to attempt in a small garden space. Make rows 2-2 ½ feet apart in the garden with 2-3 inches between plants when planting soybeans. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart. Be patient; germination and maturation periods for soybeans are longer than most other crops.
