The other thing to remember is that a row of runners casts a lot of shade
so this needs to be taken into account when positioning them. Last year we
found that things planted on the shady side of the runners didn't do well
at all.


True, but we have found over the years that cucurbits are good for growing
in the shade of the beans, you can keep the sun off the cucurbits during the
hottest part of the day if you position them correctly. Especially useful in
a good summer.
