Consider the following tips if you plan to grow beans indoors. Choose a container that is eight- or nine inches deep. Bush beans only require half the amount. Avoid placing your plants in glazed containers as they can cause damage to the roots. Make sure you have at least two drainage holes in your container. You can also cover your container with a covering to prevent rainwater and moisture from escaping.
Healthy plants require good quality soil. Use clay or silt loam potting mix. You can also make your own potting mix at home. This will help to cut down on costs. You can use either coarse sand, or garden loam mixed with organic manure. You can also mix peat moss with pasteurized earth. You can also reduce the likelihood of peat moss forming mold by adding water or air.
You should consider the planting conditions for beans grown in containers. The soil in a container should not be too wet. The soil should be six to seven inches in depth. Pole beans require at least eight- to nine inches of container size. Plant pole beans at a distance of 2 inches. If you are planting bush beans, space them at least 2 inches apart. They will grow together.
Beans should be planted at the same depth as the rest of your plants. If you plant beans in a container make sure there is drainage. If they don't have a drainage hole, the beans will become waterlogged and eventually die. 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 planting them in tight spaces, place them between the mature plants.
You should always follow the instructions when starting your plants. If you are growing pole beans from containers, ensure that the seeds do not touch each other. Place the container against a wall. If you want to grow beans in a row of beans, ensure they are well spaced so they can grow in their container. Remember that most pole bean varieties can grow to around 5-6 feet in height.
If you are planting beans from seed, it's a great idea to place them in a container. Beans do not require much space, and can be grown in a container until the last frost. To grow well they will require 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. They don't need much space. They will require sunlight to grow so make sure you have enough space.
