Re: Pole Beans on a Budget



Try growing something for the beans to grow up, i.e. sunflowers, corn...

Of course, I'm not growing commercially, but I grow a couple ornamental 
sunflowers and, after a week's headstart, I plant pole beans to clamber 
up.  Your perspective might be different seeing how you need to plant 
quite a bit more than I, in fact, you might be falling over with laughter 
right about now, but with some modification, maybe something along this 
line could work.
