Grow pole beans on trellises or large mesh fencing, 4-pole tepees, or single poles. Sow seeds 1″ deep, spaced 3″ apart in rows 4′ apart after soil temperature exceeds 60°F (16°C). If using poles, plant 7 seeds at the base of each pole.
LARGE PLANTINGS:
Drill a single row of seeds on open ground or through black plastic mulch. Sow 3 seeds/hole, 8″ between holes. For large trellised plantings, place fence posts 8-10′ apart, and support a 9-gauge galvanized wire at the top. With twine, lash trellis to the wire (or zigzag our natural sisal trellis twine between the top wire and a bottom twine). Anchor bottom of trellis with stakes or hoops of 9-gauge wire.
Please note: Maturity, adaptability and disease tolerance may differ under your specific climate and/or growing conditions.
