Pales Leaves on my Runner Beans

aoshea · « **on:** July 08, 2008, 09:07 »

Can anyone help with a problem i have with my runner beans. I have two varities "Best of All" and "Celebration", both have a problem where alot of the leaves are a yellowish green, rather than the normal dark green. All have Ample light, any ideas as to what could be causing this? :?

If you can get 'Epsom Salts' try that, it greens things up.... I was advised that for my beans and it worked!!!

Hi

We had yellowing leaves on both our runner beans and our french beans. Mulched around with some well rotted horsemanure - it did rain so it will have been washed into the soil - fixed within a few days.

cheers

Mine were going yellow in their pots but I planted them out onto a trench filled with compost and they are greening up nicely now

Hungry beasties they are

How do you apply the Epsom Salts quantities ? mix with water ?
