>>1185220My soy bed is about 8x5 feet. I'm very impressed by the yield, as the harvest you see there are only the currently ripe beans. There is easily triple that amount still developing.
For what I got, the simple side dish was very good when steamed and sautéed with butter. If I had waited for the dry beans (instead of edamame) I could have easily made a filling meal or grinded some flour. I'd recommend you get seeds from a grocery store and give it a try since they seem to yield for a long period. From what I know, however, the pods don't seem edible, unlike green beans where everything can be buttered up and consumed. First time soy gardener here, so these are all assumptions
