How to plant beans for a good harvest

The question of how to plant beans worries many beginning gardeners. First of all, you need to choose a place. For rational use of space, this vegetable crop can be placed in free areas near the fence, between trees, 1-2 grains near each potato nest, between rows of cabbage. The beds vacated by the end of summer are also suitable for sowing, which can then be fertilized by burying the dried green mass into the soil.

Thanks to the nodules on the roots, beans perfectly enrich the soil with nitrogen. We plant beans to a depth of 2-3 centimeters, leaving 25-30 cm between plants (for bush varieties). The number of rows, the distance between which is 35 - 40 cm, is no more than four. Climbing and semi-climbing beans must be planted in nests, each of which contains 5 - 7 seeds. If there are no suitable supports nearby, we build them ourselves, planting around pegs driven into the ground.

Both dry and sprouted seeds are suitable for planting in the soil. To peck, they must be laid out on damp gauze and left for 2 - 3 days, not allowing them to dry out. In order not to damage the young sprout, we must be careful. After planting in dry soil, watering is necessary.

Having figured out how to plant beans, you should think about proper care. Waterlogging at the beginning of growth causes excessive growth of leaves. This will slow down the formation of fruits, so after planting, watering can be stopped until flowering begins.When the flowers begin to open, the plants' need for moisture increases significantly. The norm is from 15 to 20 liters of water per 1 m².
