3 nuances of planting beans
This culture is not capricious. But this unpretentious plant has its own conditions, which every summer resident can comply with.
1. Beans do not like cold. Frosts can destroy the plant. Therefore, the crop is usually planted no earlier than mid-May. Or a later date is chosen, when the probability of return frosts is minimal.
2. The area for beans can be used not the sunniest. A little shade will not harm the plant.
3. But the place must be protected from drafts. Gusts of wind have a negative effect on the development of beans.
Nice bonus
Beans are useful in two cases. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live on the roots of legumes. They provide the plant with a valuable element so that even other crops have enough. First of all, beans bring tangible benefits to neighboring plants.
In addition, legumes repel the Colorado potato beetle. Therefore, many gardeners plant beans next to potatoes or make a mixed bed.
