I have used them for beans a few times and they do work!

I use them for both beans and sweet corn - a bit bigger than toilet-roll tubes and square (ish!) so they pack together more closely in a plastic container which holds them upright.

Works well and is quite therapeutic (at least, that's what I always tell myself before sitting down to start making them!)

They give parsnips a good start in the unheated greenhouse too.

6" is a good size for these...

I hope you're talking about broad beans. It's too early for runners or French beans if you intend growing them outside.
