You'll love growing pole beans! Don't plant until the soil is good & warm - they rot in cold wet soil. Don't plant too deep either. I use the innoculant for a new patch & just sprinkle it in as I sow. I have always just used compost but this year am using my compost amended with some dried molasses/alfalfa cubes in all my beds - we'll see. Keep them watered. They grow better & produce more if well watered. Keep them picked - hunt down those beans & your production will be better.
For pests I use the pyrethrin concentrate & dilute & spray.
I love beans - pole beans, half runners, bush beans
