Grow Your Own Beans

1. Grab a Grow Box

An enclosed space for growing the beans indoors or to protect them outside during colder months.

2. Pick a space

Choose somewhere sunny with drainage. Beans are a nitrogen-fixing crop, so they do not need much fertiliser.

3. Plant your Beans

Select your beans & sow them: Most types of shell bean seeds are sown 2 to 3 inches (5-7.6 cm.) apart in rows spaced 2 to 3 feet (.6-.9 m.) wide.

Remember beans do not tolerate frost so plan accordingly and then sow every four weeks until mid-July.

4. Care for the Beans

Make sure they are well-watered and weed by hand only, to avoid harming the bean.

5. Harvest the Beans

Make sure to pick them as they appear.

6. Share your progress
