You can germinate lima beans by putting them between two paper towels, covering them with something that light does not get through like a newspaper and keeping them wet.
Yes lima beans can grow without soil but it's not the soil that makes the difference it is what is in the soil................................ the nutrients.
The best soil is potting soil for a Lima bean growth.
soil
No, because sunlight can not reach a seed when it is in the soil, but plants still germinate.
Beans prefer soil that is near neutral in pH. 6.0 to 6.8 is preferred. So lima beans prefer a slightly acidic soil.
The amount of time it takes for a lima bean to grow depends on several factors; depth of seeds in the soil, temperature of the soil and the condition of the soil. Seeds start to germinate at about 5 days and can be 5 inches tall in just a little over a month.
Why green beans do not grow without soil
Coffee does not grow lima beans. However, used coffee grounds can help lima beans grow properly. When combined with fertilizer and other soil additives, coffee grounds can help create a well-drained, organic loam soil that helps lima beans thrive.
water for three days then rich soil should do the job
no they cant
I think you use soil I am not sure.
Beans germinate quite easily from seed. They make a great instructional display for children to learn from because they can germinate in anything that holds moist soil, even a cup.
