Maintenance:

Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Well-drained, warm soil in full sun is best. Use 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10') of row.
Avoid Overcrowding: Thin plants to increase air circulation and avoid wet leaves to prevent diseases.
Fertilization: Too much nitrogen can cause poor pod set and delayed maturity. Use kelp-based fertilizer if zinc deficiency is suspected.

Frequent Harvesting: Pick beans regularly to keep the plant producing. The smaller the bean, the more tender they are.
Storage: Usual seed life is 3 years. In optimal conditions, at least 75% of seeds should germinate.

Companion Planting:

Nitrogen Fixation: Beans enrich the soil with nitrogen.
