No muck under runner beans...

I forgot to put a trench of manure down before sowing my runner beans. How will this affect them - if they ever come up that is...

Can I top dress with something to feed them when they start?

soak the manure in a barrel matey and water with it for the period up to when they get the flowers and then use ord water ... or use growmore 1 oz to the yard and just rake it in on the top water as normal then throw down manure on top and then water through as normal

Thanks Munty. We'll see what happens re germination. The rain I've prayed for over the weekend should help. Sorry what a give away. The floods were all my fault... (joke I hope)

Hope you're all well, love to Aggie. Have lots of agapanthus seedlings in he greenhouse.
