It’s essential to know that these veggies thrive best if started in March or April. If you wait for too long, it could significantly affect the quality and quantity of your harvest.
Before planting these veggies, you should mix some compost with soil to boost nutrient levels. Additionally, till the soil to break any clay sections that could lead to waterlogging in your beans.
Install the trellis in the same spot where you sow the seeds. Make sure to install the structure deep into the ground so that it can’t fall over and damage your beans.
The recommended spacing for bean seeds is around 9-12 inches.
To help the seeds complete the germination stage, irrigate them regularly for 3-4 days. Water your beans approximately 2 times a week
Once your beans start establishing and the seeds start sprouting, you should add a layer of mulch on the soil surface. Opt for a leaf mulch or use shredded plants.
You’ll notice the shape of the beans and the pods will start drying up when they’re ready for harvest.
Be careful when harvesting to avoid damaging your bean plants.
