I plant my seeds about 3-4 inches apart and I don't thin the plants. A ten foot row of bush beans provides oodles for us. I use inoculant and plant in a 12 inch deep raised bed. I also put down a two inch layer of compost before I plant. Shortly after the plants come up, I mulch with wheat straw to keep the soil from drying out, weeds down and the beans clean.
