Has anyone ever tried growing runner beans in a grow-bag? We have a
lovely sheltered wall which would be ideal for them, but where there
is no possibility of a bed, and I just wondered if I could use a
grow-bag instead.


I suggest climbing French beans rather than runners. Runners are very
sensitive to becoming dry at the roots, and respond by dropping their
flowers; French beans are adapted to drier conditions, and need a
smaller root run anyway.
