Peas and beans

[Blue Radish]

Hi, I have planted peas and runner beans in the last couple of years with good results. Unfortunately I am limited to the places that I can set up a frame and they have been grown in the same location. If I move the frame somewhere else it will cause shading problems for other plants. I want to plant again now. How worried should I be about repeating the same location?

Some people have a permanent bean trench/frame and grow there year after year. Give them a good feed and I'm sure they'll give you one in return.

Thanks. I am aware that beans generally add nitrogen to the soil so was less concerned about that than whether there are pests that should be wary of. I shall take your advise and get planting!

My runner beans have been growing in the same spot for 14 years...

Over 25 years in the same place for us, no problems
