Important Note

Additional fertiliser is not required as legumes will produce their own nitrogen.

Unlike other beans, runner beans do not self pollinate & will need help from beneficial insects.

During high evening temperatures, flowers may not set & will fall off. Spraying flowers with a fine mister spray will assist with pod set.
