what kind of soil is best for planting beans? is it plain dirt , potting soil with plant food , or potting soi

Answer 1

Green beans are a popular, warm-season, home garden vegetable crop. They grow well in most Texas soils. Like most vegetables, green beans grow best in well drained soil and plenty of sunlight.

Soil Preparation

Work the soil 8 to 10 inches deep before planting. Rake it several times to break up large clods. Remove all weeds and trash. Work the garden soil only when it is dry enough not to stick to garden tools.

Fertilizing

Beans grow best when the garden soil is well fertilized. For an area that is I0 feet long and 10 feet wide, use 2 to 3 pounds of fertilizer such as 10-20-10. Spread the fertilizer evenly over the area. Then mix it in with the top 3 to 4 inches of soil.
