Do I clean the dried peanuts? Should I shake the dirt off and bake?

Clean them and then bake. You can't exactly just shake it off.

Question

Can peanuts produce if planted in containers?

Community Answer

That depends. The container will have to be deep, and the peanuts need to have nutrition. You would have to keep the nutrition levels where they need to be kept. The container needs to be about a foot and a half to two feet. Overall, I wouldn't take the chance.

Yes, it will. I have planted seed that had been stored in a freezer for several years, and they germinated.

Question

Is it a good or a bad idea to soak peanuts, still in their shell, in water for a couple of hours before planting them?

Community Answer

It is a good idea because the water softens the nut, allowing it to quickly germinate.
