I have french beans to sow in late May but I have nowhere for them to go so
either I don't grow them or I will have to use large buckets, is this a good

The best RUNNER beans I've seen and tasted (not mine!) were grown in
half barrels. The barrels were half filled with WRM (well rotted
manure) then topped up with potting compost. Well watered, they grew
lush, tender and tasty. Variety Desiree.
