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.
