Planting beans in same place?
« on: June 08, 2009, 14:13 »
Hi

I am thinking of planting out some dwarf Borlotti beans (just started off in small pots) when my broad beans are done........... would this be ok or should I plant them somewhere where beans have not already been?

Am running a bit short on room  :)  Have decided need a new house with a bigger garden!!

Plant in the same place – they will be fine.

I also had disappointment with the Broad Beans – those that survived the winter got blackfly and the later plantings never even made it to flower. I have a few ‘dwarf’ Broad Beans, but not going to amount to much this year.

Beans are one of the very few crops you can plant several years running in the same spot. Old timers used to have dedicated bean beds that were over 30 years old. That's a bit hard to do if you have a small plot and doing rotation plantings.

Leave the roots in the ground after you remove the tops, it's a good source of nitrogen.
