Default Runner bean question



"Hugh Jampton" wrote in message
...
I've been growing them for years - no problems.

My neighbour (new to veg growing) tells me that an *expert* in a garden
centre told him that he should leave the roots of his runner beans in the
ground at the end of the season and they will grow again next year up the
same canes - he won't have to plant new ones.

I've suggested that he's misheard what he's been told and probably he's
just been told to leave the roots in the ground. But *no* - he insists
that
what he's told me is correct !

Can't be so - can it ? (not that I'd ever dream of doing it)

TIA.
