Green beans: cheapo support options using twine
wrote in message
oups.com...
I am a newbie planning to plant out some green beans, which I have
already started off in the kitchen (current height is 12 to 18 inches).
Planting out this weekend in Yorks if there is no frost.
Question: I will plant the beans up against wooden fence panels. Will a
few lengths of twine strung laterally across the fence panels be OK for
support? The site is pretty well sheltered from the wind.
Thanks,
Bruce
I am not a veggie expert but on the odd occasion that I grow runner beans
(are those same as green beans?) I grow them on canes and strings
vertically. Runners do not like running laterally.
I would not think about planting runners at the moment but then again your
Yorkshire climate may be different to mine.
I am certain others will give you more authoritative information
