If you are in a warmish, wet-ish, area then your beans will grow to the sky. For runner beans I was usually 7ft poles above ground and well in the ground for security-about 18 inches, but I have my own hazel to cut. I have grown runners, 12 plants, in a dust bin half full of manure and some soil on top-about 8 inches, standing on an old children's netball stand my neighbour threw out. I secured the bean sticks on the net holder at the top, about 6ft. high, with the sticks going higher. An idea if you haven't got a lot of room to spare as the yield was good for such a small foot print, but more depth of manure under them and a fair amount of watering needed. I didn't bother with holes in the base but it was luck not judgment!
I used the twiggy bits that came off the tops of the bean sticks for my peas which I only grew once-I got something wrong, but don't know what! |
