SNAP BEANS, POLE TYPES
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 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.
Must use a support of some type to support the long vining plants. Use long stakes forming a tepee or a fence. Can also
be planted with your sweet corn and let the bean plants grow up the corn stalks. Harvest same as bush green beans.
