Phaseolus vulgaris

A bush bean with a long history as a favourite garden bean. As its name suggests, this is a long podded bean that produces well. The flattened pods should be picked regularly to encourage continued bearing. This is a string bean, but if picked early, then the pods are almost stringless. Note also that the flavour is outstanding, making the extra stringing effort worthwhile.

Using Beanflo-Rhizobium bacteria when planting your bean seed is the most cost effective way of putting nitrogen fixing bacteria into your soil, creating healthier soil for a more productive harvest.
