i am growing broad beans and wondering how i can speed the growing process organically?

Answer 1

Broad beans are a cool weather plant. Once the weather heats up, growth slows dramatically. So, you could try planting earlier in the spring, or wait to plant until the weather cools again.

Answer 2

You might try adding alfalfa to the soil, either as a mulch or from alfalfa pellets from the feed store (ask if they have moleasses........you don't want the sweet stuff as it attracts ants.) Alfalfa has a natural growth stimulant.

If flowers have appeared, nip out the tips of the plants so all the nutrients go into the developing pods.

Answer 3

i found that planting them in november(in the uk)is a great way i have my broad beens poking there heads through while there is snow on the ground and i allways have a good crop.
