BEANS, LIMA, BUSH AND POLE TYPES
PLANTING; BUSH TYPE: After soil has warmed up to at least 65-70F, till soil. Coat seed with a bean and pea
inoculant. Direct sow seeds in soil at 1″ deep, 3-4″ apart in a single row spacing of 30-36″ apart.
POLE TYPES: Plant the same as pole snap beans. HARVEST: Pick for shelling when beans are plump and
bulge the sides of still green pod. For ease of picking, cut off ends of pod with a pair of scissors, then split
pods. Use fresh, can or freeze for later use.
Inoculant
Each 2.3 oz package treats a 40 foot row.
Each 8.7 oz can will treat 150 of row.
Each 1.5 ozĀ package treats up to 8 pounds of seed.
Gardening soil inoculants are a type of bacteria added to the soil to “seed” the soil. In other words, a small amount of bacteria is added when using pea and bean inoculants so it can multiply and become a large amount of bacteria.The kind of bacteria used for legume inoculants is Rhizobium leguminosarum, which is a nitrogen fixing bacteria. These bacteria āinfectā the legumes growing in the soil and cause the legumes to form the nitrogen fixing nodules that make peas and beans the nitrogen powerhouses they are.
