Other than mycorrhizae, Trichoderma fungi and the Nitrogen fixing Rhizobium bacteria species that colonize legume roots are highly beneficial to bean plants.
Some plants will benefit from the inoculation of both Mycorrhizae and Rhizobium. I used both this year.

I had a problem with slugs. I tried using beer but it didn't work, until I gave it to the slugs.
