Title: runner beans
Post by: longlad on May 15, 2012, 21:24:01
evening this will no doubt be a quickie for the sages out there:-

we have a very windy plot and were which way round to plant the beans facing the wind backs to the wind or with the wind?????

thanks I hope it makes sense!!!

I would tend to plant the rows running N/S so that each side has a good chance of the sun, or SW/NE so that the wind blows up the row and  not against it.

the line would be SW/NE that's the down side that's the commonest wind route :(
