I have been trying to read up on how to grow vegetables outdoors in
containers, most of the advice I have found is a bit general though, as
a beginner I guess I need someone to spell it out to me!
I grow runner beans in troughs (3'x 6"x6") 5 to each trough normal potting compost plus (about 25%) farm yard manure (bags from the garden centre)
Last year 15 plants kept us in beans for most of the summer, but they do need lots of watering.
