Beans among legumes are also popular, as are peas. It is considered an unpretentious plant, so it can be practiced even by a beginner gardener. To ensure that the harvest was a success, you should familiarize yourself with the main points of agro-technology (growing) of beans.
Planting beans and the necessary care for it
The landing should be planned in the place where it is necessary to fertilize the soil with nitrogen. She will feel better in a well-lit area, protected from the wind. For bush varieties, beds, where cabbage or potatoes were grown earlier, are better suited, and for criminals it is necessary to have a support (trellis, mesh or tall plants). Return to the old place of planting beans can only after 4-5 years.
The entire planting process can be divided into two stages: preparation and penetration into the soil.
The beans themselves should be soaked in warm water (up to 15 hours), and before dipping into the ground and dip into a solution of boric acid . If you want to plant beans early, it should be germinated in advance.
Beans like light, fertile soils, and it can be grown on loamy soils. Cook them should start in the fall. The selected area should be well digged, and then make organic (compost or humus) and mineral fertilizers (phosphoric and potash). In the spring, the procedure will have to be repeated.
Bean planting is carried out from the end of April to the middle of May, when there will be no more night frosts. To do this is very simple, you just need to plug a seed 5 cm into the ground. Most often planted beans in rows, making the distance between the seeds of 20 cm, and between the rows - 40-50 cm. If you want holes, then in one hole you should put 4-5 beans, stick a wooden stick so they can braid it, and then sprinkle with earth. In the end, you need to pour the rows and pour a little.
In the cultivation and care of beans, there is nothing difficult. She does not need much:
- loosening the soil and planting plants after their germination, this will need to be repeated 1 more time before the appearance of flowers;
- before flowering watering to be carried out once a week, and then 2 times;
- after each watering (natural or by you) the ground should be loosened;
- regularly clean the weeds;
- to stimulate the ovary, when reaching a height of 2 m, it is necessary to pinch the tip;
- to carry out 2 additional fertilizing: the first - superphosphates after the formation of the first sheet, the second - potassium fertilizer in the formation of buds.
Pods can be harvested after 3-4 weeks after flowering.
Growing beans can be dealt with not only at the dacha, but also at home.
