The problem with Runner Beans is that the roots are large and woody so don't
break up easily, and as they are also perennial they will regrow from the
roots after a mild winter. Been there done that.

Paul may be interested to know that my runner beans are now producing a second crop. I grow them in large buckets and 3 weeks ago I cut them down to about 3ft. They are producing flowers and beans and are nearly to the top of the canes again.
