How
Sow beside trellis or support (up to 2m) direct where they are to grow in well drained, damp soil. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix and firm down. Do not water for a couple of days after sowing. Best results are achieved when soil temperature is consistently avove 20C
Care
Grow in a sunny, well drained position. For best results prepare soil by digging in Yates Blood & Bone and begin applying Yates Thrive Soluble Flower & Fruit Plant Food when flower buds form. Pick young Beans regularly for maximum yield. Protect from smails and slugs with Yates Blitzem.
Hint
