What is the best soil for growing sweet peas?

Our Advice:

Sweet peas prefer well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. A rich, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter is ideal. If your soil is heavy or poorly drained, consider adding sand, compost, or peat moss to improve its texture and drainage.
