5 Top Tips How to Grow a Ton of Dwarf Beans in a Small Raised Garden Bed or Container

[@greencloud2225]

I always start my beans in a tray. If I direct sow them the snails will take off the shoot leaving a stump. Planting them out when there is a couple of leaves on them increases the likelihood of survival!

[@only-vans]

My favourite way to grow dwarf French beans, crowd growing. just pick the buggers every day for an extended harvest. You can eat them raw in salads, stir fry, lightly boil to go with your lamb chops, chuck them in a stew, freeze them. They are a great crop.

Seriously underrated content, Keep it up Mark, been binging now for a few hours. Learning heaps.

[@garyramoutar3966]

[@williamford8027]

[@cherylolsen4420]

Another great vid ! You have just answered my inability to grow beans, I am the feeder & watering police all I can say in my defence is I am a mum! got to feed & nurture the world. Thank you & good on yer!

[@Selfsufficientme]

Well you should be forgiven for caring and I'm guilty of doing the same. Cheers :)

[@reggie5]

Your idea of a "small" container is different to mine ;) just went out to get some beans and faced with a choice of a packet of tall or dwarf, I decided to follow your advice and give the dwarfs a go on the patio.

[@eamononeill3292]

Just bought 4 French dwarf bean plants.planting today,your video is priceless. Thanks

[@HanaKingi]

Thanks for your down-to-Earth videos Mark. I am a lazy gardener and get a lot out of your informative tips. Waiting for my dwarf butter beans to produce for me. Great tip about the watering. Did not know about witholding water after planting. The beans have just popped out above the soil yesterday after 7 days so with your help, I will produce a bumper crop. Cheers.

[@sumthngdffrnt]

Ripe dry pinto beans are so so so good idk if its cause thats what I grew up eating in Mexico bet when you refry them and eat them with bread or tortillas they are so amazing. Can't stop eating them

[@StarTexaspets]

[@lynetteharcus9166]

That tip about letting them hang over the edge of the container is so simple but so effective.

[@shanebanks9561]

Hi Mark. Just planted some Dwarf Beans around my callistemon today. Will be interesting to see how they grow. Thank you for your tips and advice. I hope more people will try and grow grow a few vegies in their backyards like we used to do. Cheers

[@couponprepper636]

Last year I grew beans for the first time up my corn stocks 😀 it worked great!

[@simonsonjh]

Instant beans with tomato sauce! Yum ;)

[@kateymateymusic1]

Great advice! I planted dwarf beans this year and I’m a newby gardener. Mine are just about to bud flowers so I think I’m going ok

[@ElkinsEric]

How’d they turn out? Trying pole beans this year

[@kateymateymusic1]

@@ElkinsEric I'm a year late responding, but I didnt get as many as Mark :) They still produced!

[@alexthorpe2522]

Watching with my 4 year old who idly pushed a bean into some mud and it's sprouted a treat. First time either of us have grown anything. Great video.

[@emilyjane9218]

You are a delightful ray of sunshine and knowledge. Thank you for the work you put into your super helpful and good feels videos!!

[@lindahipple4817]

G'day Mark! Great tips shared to FB! Bushbeans are a gardeners' staple, I planted purple, green, and yellow wax. Even my retriever loves them, none left to dry this year..lol. Cheers! God bless!

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thanks Linda! Yes, our Scooter eats beans also lol... Cheers :)

[@FrogmanAnime]

Hi Mark, last season I planted dwarf beans in a window box, sadly the crop completely failed I got maybe one or two decent beans but that was it. I don’t know it was overcrowding my window planter because I stuffed it full with about 16 seeds; and it’s not a big window box. This year back in July I prepared a Styrofoam container esky as a planter I filled it full of good soil and I played out just 12 beans an equal distance apart. I got 9 out of 12 seeds to germinate they grew to full height and now I have a literal bumper crop of beans this year. My plants look a far healthier than my ones from last season. Your video was very helpful thank you very much for creating this content.

[@mirabelng37]

Thankyou for the video. I am growing dwarf beans and made the mistake of watering at the beginning. Plants are small. Will follow your instructions for next batch.

[@783342]

Beautiful. Thanks, mate. Wish I had your property. It's wonderful.

[@shepdoganimations6360]

Well that certainly brought a smile to my face on this cold rainy day in London, just collected some dwarf bean seeds from a neighbour. HOW ABOUT THE SIZE OF THAT GARDEN!!!! Blimey mate!

Beans, ay!

[@lisabooker6405]

Mark, I’m watching a few vids I’d missed and found this again, I have a question. Well a question statement. Idk...something to talk about? LOL 😆 ANYWAY.....I came back to this because I followed your advice about the bush/dwarf beans. I harvest often, cook and eat and the plants keep producing. My comment is that here in the USA they say harvest at once as you’ll only get one crop. That because they’re dwarf they’re only meant to produce once. I guess I’m confused. I’m still new gardening. I’ve always grown tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce...salad stuff. However, I’ve never grown some of what I’ve done the last two years. I suppose I just wondered if you had any information on this or why ours produce more than one picking and yet the nurseries here advertise or teach otherwise? Any help is appreciated. Just trying to understand the reasoning of it I suppose. If I’ve totally confused ya, lol, my apologies and thank you! God Bless ~Lisa

[@AnneBlomfield]

usually don't have any problems growing dwarf beans, this year something is eating the leaves. big holes in the top leaves & it has stunted the plants - not as many beans coming.

[@williamford8027]

Great! the gardeners Steve Irwin. thx

G'day Mark 🌞 Where do you throw the bugs/pests you don't want? How far away from the crop so they don't bother you again? Aubrey from America🇺🇸 P.S. I don't own chickens to eat the bugs/pests.

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

Have you tried sprouting beans like people do when they wean to eat the sprouts before you plant them? Then you’d know every one was already growing before it even went in the soil.

[@debradelarue9717]

Iv been overwatering my beans!!

[@hillman2067]

Hi I've been looking into recycling some galvanised steel for raised beds but I heard about lead and cadmium leeching, what you reckon?

[@monikaandrysova7590]

Bites and says "hm, that perfect" *Throws the rest away 😂😂😂

[@richardkocis5273]

Mark First Great channel ,you give me motivation, I have seen asparagus in your garden even though your winters are warm? I moved to northern Florida (ave winter low is 6 to 7 celsius and was told that it would not do well here. what do you think. any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@Selfsufficientme]

G'day Richard, I'm working on an asparagus video and will release it soon but yes if I can grow asparagus here you should be able to in Florida also. I grow an Australian Purple and Mary Washington but there are much more varieties to choose from and some recent types are better adapted to warmer conditions although any asparagus variety should still do well if you look after it. I think you'll like my video on asparagus so stay tuned! Cheers :)

[@WhatSarahLikes1]

In New Zealand we have a problem with vegetable shield bugs. What do you use against those. They devastate my beans.

[@amberamber100]

Reminds me of Steve Irwin.

[@iambo982]

M8 how long does it take for the beans to grow my are in the Stage where they grow more leafs andi think there done i planted them 3 weeks ago

[@neverlostforwords]

I have hundreds of yellow flowers (summer in Melbourne australia) but not one bean. Is it too late to get some beans growing? Any tips?
