Is this sensible, or am I missing something?

... can you not just plant brassicas in the bean one and beans in the
brassica one, rather than all that soil moving around?

That would be my first choice, except that the bean container is ideal
for growing beans. ;-)

Hi Adam. OT: Although Australian is my native tongue ("Our land is
dirt by sea"), I'm uncomfortable at seeing soil called "dirt".

What you suggest seems reasonable, as long as you feed the soil up and
watch out for pests and diseases - and, as already advised, stiffen up
the stuff intended for brassicas.

As a matter of great interest, how did your container-grown beans and
brassicas do? And how big are the containers?
