Tips Bean

Soil preparation

  • Prepare a light, well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
  • Add compost or well-decomposed manure to improve soil fertility.
  • The soil should not be too heavy or too alkaline.
  • Till the soil to a depth of 20-25 cm to ensure good aeration.
  • Ensure the soil is weed-free before planting.

Planting

  • Plant the seeds 3-5 cm deep.
  • Space the rows 30-40 cm apart for optimal plant growth.
  • Plant beans in a sunny spot.
  • If using stakes, install them before sowing to avoid damaging the roots.

Watering

  • Water regularly to keep the soil slightly moist, but not waterlogged.
  • Reduce watering when the plants begin to mature to prevent rotting.
  • Beans need more frequent watering during dry spells.
  • Ensure the leaves are not too wet to avoid fungal diseases.

Fertilizer

  • Apply a balanced fertilizer high in nitrogen at the start of growth.
  • Avoid over-applying nitrogen, as it encourages leaf growth at the expense of pods.
  • Apply a phosphorus-rich fertilizer when flowers begin to appear.

Harvesting

  • Harvest beans when the pods are full and the seeds are well-formed.
  • Do not leave beans too long on the plant, as they can become tough and hard to eat.
  • Harvest beans in the morning to prevent the pods from splitting too quickly.
