Title: What root crops might suit legume crops?
Post by: cambourne7 on April 03, 2012, 17:08:24
Hi All,

I have a bed i am planning on popping in some peas and more interesting bean types but i will have space for root crops.

What root crops do you think would be successful??

Most of them but a recommendation to try celeriac as you will need to water the beans a fiar bit so rigging up a drop tank into leaky pipes and then you just fill with a bucket might be a sensible way to go... they won't get much nitrogen from the beans (beans use it and don't leave it behind) but they both like plenty of water....
