Runner bean seeds at Unwins

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Runner bean seeds are available Unwins Seeds & Plants. You can get several different varieties. If you’ve grown them this year you should still be eating them!
A well prepared plot yields dividends when growing runner beans.
Dig a trench and line with newspaper and pour in lots of half rotted compost and vegetable peelings. Do this in January. Cover the soil back and then plant the beans in this area – two to a pole – as directed on the packet. The compost continues to rot providing a good base for the plants. It’s vital to water them regularly too! The more water the better!
