Default 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


May I suggest using fishing line?
Its much stronger than twine - not too expensive - invisible
You could do vertical with horizontals for the beans to climb up.
