Thanks for your comment.
I have 3 sets of Teepees in compost. I also have a pole structure, in native soil, which consists of 2 rows of poles fastened together at the top but with space between the rows of poles at the top. I hope amend the soil, in all areas, when I plant the poles in approximately 1 month. Also, I plan on modifying the pole bean varieties, which I plant. I hope to plant Rattlesnake (old standby), Alabama #1, Blue Marbut and Tobacco Worm. These pole bean varieties hopefully are suited to my hot, humid, disease prone environment.
For Bush Beans, I plan to use 3 varieties which I haven’t used before. First I will plant Jade as opposed to the Jade II variety which I have used in the past. The original Jade appears to be slightly more disease resistant than Jade II. Also I plan on using 2 other disease resistant varieties. The beans are described below with information as I found it on the web. I am not sure that it is actually accurate.

I plan on updating my results here, whether good or bad.
