Pea shoots grown in reused mushroom container. I haven’t had luck growing pea shoots in just water, they tend to rot and the stems get tough. I had better result growing them in coconut coir, but noticed that the shoots were slender and looked like that they could benefit from some added nutrition. This time, I used our home made compost, which is decomposed woodchips from our last year’s tree trimmings. It worked great. The shoots are healthy, vibrant and tender.
