Beans are one of the highest yielding plants to have in a garden and in this video I demonstrate how we transplant the bean seedlings to ensure healthy growth. For building a bean structure use this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U31vg2I5K8E
Important measurements:
Trenches 1 foot apart (30cm)
Trenches 6 inches deep (15cm)
2-3 inches of compost (5-7.5cm)
Space between plants 4 inches (10cm)
Bean varieties:
Runner Bean – Enorma
French Climbing Bean – BLAUHILDE
Kidney Bean

The beans look great, Huw! They'll look even better climbing the trellis.

Great video ! Mike
Great to have a follow up video, so we can see the ‘before’ and ‘after’.
I tried growing beetroot under beans but it failed. May have been because back then the garden was not so fertile as now. I grew three marigold plants under my beans, one at each end and one in the middle. I was told it stopped blackfly and we had no blackfly and plenty of beans, so that is one thing which works…..beetroot did ok on the morning side of the sticks last year: planted seedlings out end of May and they are still harvesting now…..
I grow Lettuce in the middle of the beans also a couple of dwarf nasturtiums to bring in the pollinators
fill your beds to the top of the wod, or what's the point of having it that high?
Can we plant the seedlings directly into the ground? And would that structure work for borlotti beans? Thanks for all the help you provide to beginners 🙂
How do you get the beans to climb up the pole? I've got my beans close to the piles, but the beans are just growing straight up!
