Are Red Kidney Beans Worth Growing?

[@lilbit4165]

I grow beans every year to set nitrogen in the resting gardens..long term food is the bonus! I usually grow black and red kidneys, limas and pintos

[@lindasands1433]

I sit at the table to pod mine, and watch gardening videos at the same time. Gardening keeps me so busy that it's great to have time to watch videos 👍😁

Kidney beans for my chili!!! Because they are getting expensive at the store now.

[@melanieallen8980]

Ooohhhh..I want2 grow some kidney beans! my kids will love it! They call them football beans!😀

[@harz117]

That's a high yeild in beans considering the wind damage. Out of that area a typical harvest would be 1.7 to 2.2 kilo conservatively. Good Job! 12:02

Nice one Man. Thanks a lot. I am polish micro farmer and i grow my food in UK. Hey!

[@porqpai7082]

Was planning to plant kidney beans this season. This was very helpful!

[@F4C31355]

Thank you sir for using Metric measuring system! Nice harvest!

[@owendavies8227]

I like to grow rare and specialty dry beans, which I think are worth my time since they have superior flavor to supermarket beans. I wouldn't grow supermarket beans except as a cover crop or if I did not have enough seeds for better varieties (which is a situation I may be facing with the post being slowed down this year).

[@SunShine-nz8kp]

Good audio, video and content. Always interesting. I never have tried growing beans for dry use. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.

[@downunderveggiegardendiaries]

Fantastic result!! I have an assortment of bean seeds that I purchased to grow, this makes things easier to picture.

[@deannamcnamara3393]

Fantastic harvest 🙂certainly worth the time and effort

[@lindasands1433]

What a sweet helper you have

[@Emsta]

This is awesome to see, from start to finish as well as such a cheap way to start them as well. Have you ever looked at 3 sisters planting?

[@homesteading]

Yes, I planning to try a version of the 3 sisters method this coming season.

[@pamelabratton2501]

OH, my! All the possible uses for the sifted dust! Good for potting up things, nice and fluffy, mulch under things needing a touch of nitrogen...

[@Fazendinha_TAS]

Excellent result, well done! How many plants did you have approximately in the planted 10m2 by the way?

[@UPGardenr]

Thanks for posting

[@ausfoodgarden]

Nice result there. As I'm very space limited I only grow fresh beans, not ones you can dry and store. I think the beans are way better in your climate than the chickpeas from your results. Next year more beans and different varieties might be the way to go. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@thetinyshinylife]

Brilliant video. I’ve always wondered whether we could eventually grow kidney beans in Tassie. 🥰 We have a variety of beans we’re planning got gypsy next year. Should be fun

[@lukewarm2075]

Beans glorious beans

[@FATALLYFOXZofficalchannel]

Great video!

[@Adnancorner]

I think the best option is to give the kids this job to open the bean pods.

[@elenidemosdavidcarruthers6382]

Great to see. From a watchers point of view, they seem more productive with less work then the chick peas as you mentioned. Have you thought of other dry bean crops (pinto, black, haricot, etc)?

[@homesteading]

Have thought of also trying haricot beans next year. Red kidney and haricot seem to be our favourites in the kitchen.

[@elizd9952]

I'm trying to figure out how many kidney bean plants to plant? Does anyone know an approximate amount? My husband loves chili and eats it for lunch almost every day. This makes him eat a lot of beans.

[@tashaadams363]

I love to grow red kidney beans because they are very low maintenance

[@kekethetoad]

Inspiring stuff!! I wonder if most other beans of similar shape are much the same in growing and yield... Anyway, cheers mate I've subscribed.

[@FM-qm5xs]

It would be good to compare yield to a climbing type bean. You put in a few scarlet runner beans didn't you? I'd like to see their harvest if you are doing them as dried beans.

[@homesteading]

Will probably do that, they are not ready to harvest yet.

[@FM-qm5xs]

@@homesteading I put in some scarlet runners last year but the bush turkeys dug them all out. I hear they are meant to have one of the best bean yields.

[@Silmerano]

A fan will separate most of that dust and light plant matter from the beans. Then just give em a wash and you're good to go.

[@ravencroftgraphics3d]

do you use anything for pest control? i am in japan and they are pesticide crazy here with onions. i want to try doing this organically but wonder how to do it with not having to resort to using pesticides. also, have you tried peanuts?

[@homesteading]

Haven't had a pest problem with the beans. Tried peanuts but didn't get any germination.

[@denisefaust6408]

What size sieve is that? This is what I need!

[@homesteading]

Best idea is to buy set of classifier sieves as used for gemstone fossicking. Both sizes are useful for garden tasks. Try an outdoor type store.

[@lizhaydon2250]

Do you save any of your dried beans for the next year's planting?

[@homesteading]

Yes, I intend to do that.

[@kylealbrecht1399]

How long can the beans be kept in storage?

[@nunyabusiness3625]

You can store dried beans for up to 30 years if you do it properly- sealed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and kept in a cool dry place.

[@AAHomeGardening]

Lovely sir

[@YoursEver-Nina]

I grew red kidney beans and harvest white beans. Is that normal? They dried on the plant.

[@homesteading]

No!

[@YoursEver-Nina]

@@homesteading wow 😲 don't know what happened then! Thanks for the quick reply

[@najahasamarai787]

Are the kidney beans ok to eate green ?

[@homesteading]

No, general advice is they are toxic when green.... but I haven't really established this as a fact.

[@Adebiting]

👍👍👍👍👍🙏
