Organic Bean Seed
| BEANS, BUSH TYPE SNAP Approx. 1,500 seeds per pound. Beans are among the richest food products which the good earth yields. In the chemistry of food, they supply carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Beans are easy to grow, well suited for different types of soil from heavy clay to light, sandy soils. Plant in early spring after frost danger is past and soil has warmed up to at least 60F. Coat bean seed with a bean and pea inoculant. Direct sow at 1-1.5" deep, 2-3" apart in a single row spaced 30-36" apart or a double row spaced 8" apart. Keep weed free. Pick pods when filled out to a nice size before pods bulge. TIP: We have found a way to increase your bean yield. Here is what we do: after bean plants are about 4-6" high, we spread Bradfield organic fertilizer along the bean row at the rate of 4-6 pounds per 100' of row just before we till them. A trickle drip irrigation line is also laid along the row. Make sure your bean plants get at least 1" of water per week. Do not over water, as bean plants drown easy. After each picking we also give them some more water. Good luck. You will need 1 pound of seed per 100' row or 60 lbs/acre. |
