Field bean advice needed
« on: February 25, 2013, 11:25 »
Hello

I'm growing field beans for the first time this year and I was wondering what type of supports they will need (if any).

I'm sat planning my plot layout and checking what is left to buy/scavenge ready for growing.  :D

Thank you

Field beans - do you mean broad beans? field beans often means a green manure crop  :unsure:

It's an edible field bean. Variety is called 'wizard'.

Ah! They don't usually need supporting, but if you are on a windy site then some stakes along the rows, with some strings between, should do the job  :)

Thank you. The seed packet advice said they may need supporting but didn't say how. Mystery solved!
