How to Grow

Soil

Beans naturally fix nitrogen in the soil, so they require moderately fertile, free-draining soil. Ensure the soil pH is within the recommended range.

Position

Full sun, preferably in an area of your patch that allows them to be trained vertically and therefore conserve space. Plant where you expect to put your brassicas the following season.

How to Plant

Sow the seeds directly into the garden patch at a depth approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the seed.

Give the seeds a thorough soaking after sowing, then avoid overwatering before germination, as bean seeds can be prone to rotting.

Harvesting

Pick the young pods regularly while they are still tender and stringless. Regular harvesting encourages further flowering and production.
