Isn't it always the case that you read something somewhere and 'absorb it' and then, later, you recall it.
Having read it, you wondered if it were true, and then, appropriately, you tell someone else about it.
Specifically, I read that Climbing French Beans don't fix Nitrogen into the soil via their root nodules as Runner Beans do, and that got me wondering.
So, don't they at all? and if not, why not? And if Runner Beans do, will my Borlotti Beans? and what about my Black Turtle Beans that I've planted under the sweetcorn, or the ever-popular Broad Beans. Are they?
I've been trying to learn as much as I can from every source available in the last 5 or 6 years, and I thought I was doing OK.
How on earth are new vegetable growing generations supposed to cope with 'haphazard' information about growing such as this being 'bandied about'.
I put the question to 'Elderly Next Door' this evening, and he had 'never heard such a thing'.
Any similar stories to tell?
