How to Start Soybeans in Pots

Growing your own soybeans is a cost-effective, healthy choice. Green soybean seeds make an excellent start. Before you can have 2- to 3-foot tall soybeans, you must prepare the seeds to maximize their potential for successful growth. A pot full of soil makes the best initial home for a soybean plant to prosper.
