Bean/pea question

[Brett_Haughan]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question, how many bean/pea shoots can you have to grow in one pot? How spaced out should they be and does it have to be a big pot?

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to eat them as shoots or grow them to maturity?

What sort of beans are you talking about? Broad, Runner, French, dwarf..............?

Edit - Your question was only quick because you haven't given us enough information

If you look at the peas and beans they sell in polystyrene trays in B&Q, they are obviously sown practically touching one another. But the roots end up tangled together and then you damage them separating them out for planting. Personally, I plant them one to a (large) yoghurt pot, or three to a five/six inch pot. The deeper the roots get before you plant them out, the better. (I'm assuming you are growing them from seed prior to planting out in the garden/lottie.)
I also make sure I use pea/bean booster (aka Rootgrow/mycorrhizal fungi) on the roots. Makes a heck of a difference, is my experience.

Do you mean shoots, or plants? *puzzled*
