Keeping beans in one place

[baggyman]

I have grown my beans on an area infected with clubroot and onion white rot. Not a lot more I could grow there!

Haven't decided what I am going to do next year yet but I do think little teepee's dotted around the plot would add a bit of height. Don't want it to look like an indian reservation though!

With most brassicas having clubroot resistant varieties and even some white rot resistant onions, maybe it's time for a change!

off topic i know, but what varieties are onion rot resistant?

Supposedly, Golden Bear? I tried them this year and had no white rot on them but they were quite small. Will be growing them again this year but sowing them a bit earlier!

I grow my runners over an arch which in turn is over the entrance to my garden, I don't have many places to chose from only having a small garden, I've grown them there for the last 4 years and they seem to thrive OK, I dig over there compost, take half out and dig in some new every year, this year I treat them to some new containers.

ginger i really fancy doing this for 2010 - how many do you put per pot; what variety of beans and what kind of compost do you use if you dont mind me asking please?

I put my spring cabbage in where my runners had bean and they'll be out (hopefully) so next years can go in . We dug a trench and filled with compost just a couple of weeks before putting runner seedlings (started off in loo rolls) and they did brilliantly this year.
