Munty frame question
« on: January 12, 2011, 22:30 »
I have a bed that's 18' X 8', and this year I want to use it for runner bean (White Lady), 2 varieties of climbing French bean (Blauhilde and Cobra), a row of broccoli/calabrese, plus some squash and/or courgette plants. I was going to use individual wigwams for all the climbers, but now I've read about the Munty frame I'm wondering if that would be a better option. If I run the frame down the 18' leg, it would be south facing. But how much of the 8' leg would it take up? Do you think I'd get away with putting the Munty at the back, then squash/courgette on the ground below it, with a row of broccoli/calabrese in front of that, and fit that all within the 8' I have to play with? Or would that be too crowded?

This is one of my bean frames



It was about 10-12 ft long and 4-5 ft deep.  I usually grow a couple of courgettes under it.
