Growing Pole Beans

Here is my fast, quick and easy trellis system for growing pole beans. A few things to note – the first is that you can grow multiple varieties of beans in one location – they don’t really cross-pollinate that easily.

The second is that while we normally use a tripod for this pole bean trellis – in the example here we’ve actually used 4 poles. The trial is to see if it resists the strong island winds better than our normal 3-pole system or whether we have to move the area to more protected spot (we lost a few trellis systems blown over in a late summer storm last year).
