To grow beans at home, choose a well-lit area with sunshine. There are no special requirements for the soil - light loam is optimal. They sow when the earth warms up to a temperature of +12-14 degrees and the threat of frost has passed - most likely this will be in early May. Dry seeds are planted to a depth of 3-4 cm, in rows - with an interval of 10-12 cm in a row and row spacing of 40-50 cm.

For a vigorous plant, you will need support - a stretched net or ordinary stakes. After the emergence of seedlings, the row spacing is loosened and kept clean. The beans are hilled up and directed to grow along the support. Watering is only necessary in case of drought. Ripe pods are shelled, and the grain is dried and sent for processing or storage.
