Hi Annaliese, Potash (mostly potassium carbonate) from a nursery is what I use. A bag will last for years unless you grow 'commercial quantities' of peas.

Make sure there is plenty of air circulation around the plants this will help with the mildew.

Snow peas grow fast - my kids LOVE them because of this. TIP: Make sure you have a trellace or something for them to climb on right away because if they don't have anywhere to climb, they will start to become really "sad". Also - roots can go VERY deep, so make sure there's room downwards as well. I used to pot them, but learned quickly that the roots travel too far for small pots.

We are just preparing to plant snow peas for school. Is there anyone that can give us some tips for how quickly it grows? Thanks :).

I am doing some research on how fertilizers affect the snow peas. Does anyone know any type of fertilizers which could affect the yield of the plant?
