trough for french beans

[hawthorns]

i have just made 2 troughs out of pallet wood. im looking to grow french beans in them. 1 is 42" by 12" and 9" deep the other is 18" sq and 12" deep
which would be the better to grow in.

what other crops could i grow

[TonyF]

I'd grow climbing French beans in the first one and bush French beans or Broad beans in the second.

[snake the squadie]

i grow runner beans in the first one and i am going to try dwarf french beans the same way this year
