Growing Green Beans in Containers (Bush Beans from Seed to Harvest) Container Garden

Easy way how to grow green beans in containers. This is early bush bean variety that starts to produce green beans just 7 weeks after germinating. And they really need very small space to grow!
Hope you enjoy!!

[@hbinfinity]

Love this vid! What would you do if your bush beans started flowering before transplanting? Looks like I waited too long :( Can it be fixed?😊

[@Liap]

Hello, well the best thing You can do is transplant them.The plants should continually grow and also produce flowers, though I am not sure they will be as productive as they could be. I'd plant them and also start new ones. I actually started bush beans few days ago 🙂

[@ssug]

i like your video

[@LuvBritTV]

Great simple video thanks! I have a question, first time this year I bought bush bean seedlings, thought I'd put them in a large pot or recycle bin, so my problem is that I have lots of critters in my yard. Birds, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, etc.How to keep them off my beans?? I have to cover them in netting? Is there another way? I don't have a huge yard and it's partly shady so I thought I'd move around the pots into the sun. Thanks for your response. 🙏

[@Liap]

Hello. Yes netting cover would be probably the best way to go. But If You want to be moving them constantly, it’s not very efficient. But creating a physical barrier is the best way to deal with critters.

[@LuvBritTV]

@@Liap Thank you so much! One more question if you'd be so kind. Do they sell hoops for pots like they do for raised beds? If not can I DIY one?

[@Liap]

@@LuvBritTV i haven’t seen any yet, but You can do it the same way I am doing it this year - put the pots in two lines, put two sticks In the first and last two of both lines (also some between for better support) and place some cover over it. I am using non-woven fabric (white so it doesn’t block too much of sunlight. Basically just make a frame over containers and cover them, maybe you will get a better idea 🙂

[@LuvBritTV]

@@Liap Thank you I'll try that. I am ordering white garden fabric today, and searching the internet for ideas on this, and also pots on wheels! haha! Thinking of putting both pots (only have 2 for now) on a garden cart to drag into the sun when needed. I saw a chipmunk go into my one pot and back out, so I think he thought there'd be flowers in there? Anyhow if I find out anything useful I'll let you know, or make a hoop from something. Cheers! 😘

[@Liap]

Hello. These are ≈2.6 gal containers. Thank You very much ☺ Greetings from Slovakia 👋

[@niroshazaharan7484]

Thank you for the video. Can I please know the size of the pot suitable for bush beans plant?

[@Liap]

Roughly 20-25cm (10-12") in diameter and similar depth. You can grow few in a clump or spread them apart 🙂🌱🍀

[@shadeldirton8428]

How often did you water. This is my first time trying my hand at green beans. Want a good harvest.

[@Liap]

Every other day on sunny days. Always check the top layer of the soil. If it's dry it requires watering.

[@carmendiary4653]

Love your video.

[@carypooler7829]

What is the pot size you transplant the beans in to?

[@Liap]

Hello, the pot is 10 liter size. Width: 23cm Height: 22cm Something like this 🙂

[@scenicroutetravelers3655]

How often should one water? Thanks for sharing!

[@Liap]

Hello, that depends on the type of soil and weather conditions. I always check the soil. If it's top 2-3cms (1in) are dry, that is when I water. In these containers on hot sunny days I watered them daily. On cloudy days roughly twice a week. Thank you for watching! 🙂

[@enufots4621]

What is meant by compost? Is it the same as potting soil or mix?

[@Liap]

Decayed organic matter. Compost is being used as a component of potting mixes.

[@Liap]

You can transplant radish seedlings 🙂🌱

[@mithalisanghvi140]

What fertilizer should be added in this, also in how many days ?

[@Liap]

Hello. Beans don't require much, if any fertilizing. But if You have poor soil, any balanced fertilizer will work well. Starting when the first blooms appear and continue on a weekly basis (every 7-10 days)

[@palehorse4447]

Just wondering what type of wood chavings you use? Im looking for a good natural/organic mulch to use this year.

[@Liap]

Those are spruce shavings. I use mostly those or straw. If dried, they are reusable multiple times.

[@laheart1957]

After you plant the seed in the tray, you watered them. Should one continue to water them?

[@Liap]

That depends, make sure the soil is moist at all times, but not overlogged.That will determine if and when it needs to be watered. When I started these, it was already summer, so yes, I was watering these regulary.

[@laheart1957]

@@Liap Thank you!

[@abdulbeany1894]

Hi after i sow the seeds how often shall i water thanks

[@Liap]

Hello. They should be okay until they germinate. But always make sure the soil is moist. You can soak the seeds before planting to speed up the process of germination.

Hi, my name is Ms Dee and I'm a new Gardner, i started some Green Beans in seedlings containers.And they've gotten so tall.I want know.Should, I just put them into the grown bag now?Or do I have to wait a little l longer?I didn't want to mess them up.. Please advise

[@Liap]

Hello Ms Dee, how old are the seedlings and what height are we talking about? Is their stem thick enough to hold them strong in windy weather?

[@denisebal7201]

Hi, thank you for your quick response. The seeds were planted about 8 days ago and they're growing pretty fast. They don't have more than maybe 2 big leaves on them. So I didn't know whether or not to transplant them into the growbag. The stem is pretty long. Not sure if it's strong enough to withstand being outside yet , I'm in NC. It's quite hot all day good sun about 6-8 hrs I don't have a lot of space, so they're in my window. Seal for right now, getting good sun light,However, maybe I should transfer them into the growbag and leave them in the house for now. Can you please advise?

[@Liap]

​@@denisebal7201 Yes You can transplant them and do it so half of their stem is in the soil. If the temperatures allow, move them outdoors. The light on the windowsill is probably not enough, that is why they are so tall.

[@evalopez2700]

Can someone pls answer a question?? I heard some plants are done with their life cycle once they flower. And how you should pick the flower heads to keep them producing longer, or to help young plants grow bigger, so all the energy is going to the foliage and not the flower... such as with pepper plants. So I picked all the first flowers of my young bean plants... but now see they are the beans. I'm so confused. When should you pick the flowers and when not to ....and on which plants?? I'm growing so many things and this part is so confusing. 😒

[@Liap]

Hello, as a general rule you remove first flowers on plants that you want to grow bigger in size. Let's look at those peppers, If the plant is not tall enough and is already starting to produce flowers, you probably want to remove them so the plant can still focus it's energy on growing more robust stems and foliage. Though, if you live in a climate with short growing season, I wouldn't remove any, because removing any flowers will delay your harvest. Also removing flowers will help alerady growing fruit to ripen faster, so if the plant is already bearing quite some fruit that's "enough", you can remove new leaves to make sure the plant will finish the rippening process of already growing ones (pumpkins, melons...) We don't remove any flowers from beans. Hope this helps a little bit, have a nice evening 🙂

[@rockelwilliams376]

Does the beginner pots have drainage or not?

[@Liap]

Yes, the seedling trays do have drainage holes.

[@StitchingMae]

I know green beans.... but what variety is this plant?

[@Liap]

Hello, the variety is called "Bean Provider". This variety is "stringless" meaning if You harvest pods early and often enough, You can help avoid bean strings 🙂

[@kennethswann6458]

Can you use old leaves as mulch?

Yes you can, but always check what kind of leaves they are. For example walnut tree leaves can be toxic to other plants and soil life.

[@chefdingo]

Beans germinate and grow so fast, so i don't understand the reason for starting them in small pots then transplanting.

[@Liap]

Hello, yes you are right - beans germinate and grow very fast. The reason for starting them in seedling trays could be to get ahead of season. By growing transplants, you can plant big strong plants at the time you would be sowing seeds, or already having small seedlings coming out. Also, when you start seeds in seedling trays, you can have strong plants prepared to plant right after you harvest “the first round” of beans and therefore have two harvests 🙂 I start almost all of my plants in seedling trays, to have better control over plants.

[@ChiragONYT]

Seedling tray i want😢

[@kennethswann6458]

Please forgive my ignorance and I hope you see this to answer back but what do you mean by two parts what is a part I mean I know that it's I know what it is I just don't know how much it is on the first time not even enough the first time I'm just beginning any help would be greatly appreciated

[@Liap]

There is nothing to forgive sir. By two parts I mean that for let's say 1 liter of coir there are 2 litres of compost, for example. That means 1 part of coir and 2 parts of compost. I hope i explained it understandably, if not, let me know I will try again 🙂

Awesome video, I just subscribed, I’m a new gardener. What is coir? I just repotted my beans they were thriving now they seem to be dieing, any suggestions please ?

[@Liap]

@@tauheedahmustafa8048 Coir is Coconut coir, it great for starting seeds and also as a component of potting mix. It adds air to the soil mix and retains moisture, Though when You start seeds in coconut coir only (or mixed with perlite), be ready to start fertilizing seedlings between they start to grow their first true leaves and when they are fully grown. Coconut coir doesn't have any nutrients. Thank you very much!!

No, bush beans don't need a trellis. They will stand strong, especially when exposed to wind from early stage of their life.

[@Liap]

Hello. Yes You are correct. Fortunately I was able to manage them. They can be a problem over here too, especially when it's warm and dry weather for longer period of time. What is Your region?

[@GainingDespair]

@@Liap I think the most accurate condition would be tropical/subtropical. Gulf Coast of Mississippi which, isn't technically in the tropic zone but ocean winds effect the climate in our area.

[@Liap]

@@GainingDespair Much warmer place then over here 🙂 what do You grow at this time of the year?

[@GainingDespair]

​@@Liap We can more or less get away with most things, granted some things like fruit trees which require long chill hours are a no go but due to the short winters here basically anything which needs cool to hot growing season can be done with little issue. However being so close to the ocean does mean we suffer from hurricane seasons which bring in a lot of rain, those seasons can be unpredictable. Might be fine but get 4-5 days of strong winds and constant rain off and on. We don't always get a hurricane but we normally get something just due to the size. Right now is pretty good time for growing, our fig trees have woken up already, satsumas are starting to wake up as well. However due to the heat it can be an issue, stuff now does well in full sun, however at the peak of summer not everything does well in full sun, even stuff which is generally considered sun loving will need some shade so we need to be creative with the areas we grow in during the year. Our winters are generally swimming weather, might get 3-4 days below freezing a year typically at night, so we get long fall, and spring growing seasons for cooler loving crops.

[@cherylramsey3409]

I really do love your show and all your tips and tricks for gardening and small spaces. However, I hate to see you use peat moss. The worlds peat bogs are decreasing rapidly, and besides that peat bogs will hold and retain a lot of carbon dioxide.

[@Liap]

I can only agree. I am not buying any peat moss alone, I use coconut coir for starting seeds and then as lightening component for container mixes. I mentioned it because it is often part of cheaper garden soil mixes (which I sometimes used), but this year I have started seeds in fine sieved compost and for some with added sand. And also, some people maybe don't have access to coconut coir.
