If you're planning to grow beans in containers, consider the following tips: Choose a container with a depth of eight or nine inches. Bush beans will need half that amount. Glazed pots can cause root damage. You should also make sure that the container has at least two drainage holes. You can also cover your container with a covering to prevent rainwater and moisture from escaping.
For a healthy plant, it is essential to have good quality soil. You can use clay potting mixes or silt-loam. You can make your own potting mixture at home to reduce costs. You can use either coarse sand, or garden loam mixed with organic manure. You can also use peat moss in equal amounts with pasteurized soil. The incidence of fungus can be reduced by adding water to the soil or air.
Consider your planting conditions when you consider growing beans in containers. A container's soil should not be too dry. In fact, it should be at least six to seven inches deep. Pole beans require a container at least eight to nine inches wide. For pole beans, space them approximately 2 inches apart. You should plant bush beans in rows.
Beans should be planted at a similar depth to other plants. If you plant beans in a container make sure there is drainage. They will die if they aren't waterlogged. For best results, place your beans in an area that gets 8 hours of sunlight each day to ensure maximum growth. Be sure to thin out the bush beans as they grow so that they can remain healthy. If you're planting them in crowded spaces, you can place them in between the mature plants.
You should always follow the instructions when starting your plants. Make sure that pole beans are planted in containers. The container can be placed against a wall. Place the container against a wall if you plan to plant beans in rows. And always remember that most pole bean varieties are around five to six feet tall.
If you are planting beans from seed, it's a great idea to place them in a container. Beans don't require much space and can be grown in containers before the last frost. They only need six to eight hours sunlight per day to grow well. They will require sunlight to grow so make sure you have enough space.
