Title: Runner Bean planting
Post by: greenfingeredmike on April 27, 2010, 09:22:09
I would like to know how far apart I should be planting my runner beans, I've always planted them about 12" apart but was wondering if I can plant them closer together. Any help would be appreciated ???

Mine are at twelve, although I have a couple right next to each other, which was a mistake on my part.

Welcome Mike,
I plant mine 12-15" apart and 2 per cane too. Rows are about 6-8' long and 2' apart.
Watch out though they is hungry bu**ers.
