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. 

Thank you

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

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!
