How To 10X Your Bean Harvest with 1 Simple Tip

[@BrLambert]

Thanks a big help on basic gardening, my brown thumb is beginning to change it's color. :-)

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Hurrah, it will be green before you know it!

[@CrowSpirit1977]

I'm not sure how to feel about that.😁

[@dreamcatcherhomestead3823]

This makes alot of sense! I attempted beans this year for the first time, and they didn't do well at all. I didn't know there was a bean booster, but I am so excited to give that a try for the coming year! Love the video!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Glad I could help! They are also present in the soil but just not in very high numbers. Makes a big difference!

[@charabotte1]

The only booster you need is manure.

I never about legume inoculate. Interesting. Thank you.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

You're welcome. The intricacies are amazing aren't they?

[@davddambrosio2024]

Is there anything else we can use for the bean booster such as worm castings or compost tea.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Not really as far as the bacteria is concerned. The bacteria is always around just in small numbers, the booster or inoculant is basically like a slam dunk that floods the soil with them. You can still get production without, it just greatly increases it.

[@calebmartinez8771]

That's good question

[@andrewriley4279]

@@TheUrbanHarvest I'm curious if you could transfer some soil from an established bed of beans to help get them started.

What kind of beans grow best in Northwestern Florida?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

At this time of year, yardlong beans are a good option as we move into the hot temperatures.

[@jaysreetad9980]

Good one. My beans started well and I’m not sure what I did they died

[@ElizabethMunsif]

what kind of metal beds do your use ? Thanks!

[@musicman9901]

Ive been told that because of beans ability as a nitrogen fixing plant, if you grow lots of them, you should grind the dead plants at the end of the season and use them as mulch as this will maximize the amount of nutrients going back into the soil. I try to mulch most of my garden plants but am making note to always mulch my bean and pea waste.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

You can turn them into the soil to decompose, use the matter as mulch if it didnt have pests or disease by the end of the season, or compost it. Just cutting the plants off at the soil line will also allow the roots to release stored nitrogen into the soil.

[@musicman9901]

@@TheUrbanHarvest Awesome thanks, good point about not composting diseased vegetable matter.

Welcome aboard!

[@PrimitiveTim]

That's awesome! Great info. Thanks! I would love to see videos about varieties that do specifically well in Florida. Also heirloom varieties would be interesting and the history behind them. Just got some scarlet runner beans going. Also I want to hear about the aspects of gardening that you're most interested in. What are the projects that are exciting you?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Great suggestion. I get so into the history behind heirloom varieties, so fun!

[@blhoffman3412]

Ty for the information

[@jessicachurch319]

What are those little beetles that were squirming around when you demonstrated the bean planting? Are they beneficial? I have a friend who lives near you and has a bunch of those beetles in her front yard.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Just decomposers for the soil. Not harmful!

[@CrowSpirit1977]

Thanks.🖒

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

No problem 👍

The seeds that I bought from Walmart is called Burpee’s Tenderpod. Do I need to make Trelis for these kind of Beans?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

It should say on the package whether they are bush or pole beans. I have never planted that variety but a quick google search said they are bush so no you do not need to trellis.

[@kellyhenigsmith8545]

Is the innoculant bone meal or blood meal? We are in Polk City, Fl.

[@richardbarnes271]

Where do you get the enockulant

[@amarjitsingh4706]

Very nice video .

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@captainandrewcrabtree]

Did some bush beans and pole beans this fall, same area same 5 gallon pots... my bush beans produced well but my pole beans didn't do well... anything I should do differently for the pole beans vs bush beans? Thanks!

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

They take longer to produce than bush so it likely just got cool too quickly for them. Try again in spring!

[@EatSeeRV]

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to create :)

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

My pleasure!

[@AaronUF]

Was curious what zone you are in? IFAS said that dry beans were not easy to deal with in FL, because of timing and not being able to leave on the plant long enough. Hence the zone question. If you do have timing issues with drying, what work arounds do you have?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

I'm zone 9b. I've planted cowpeas for ever for my dry beans and they have always done fine. They get aphids and then the predators take care of aphids and then I harvest my beans : ) The ones pictured in this video though are just a bush variety for fresh green beans.

[@AaronUF]

Thanks, have you had any experience with pole/bush beans for drying? @@TheUrbanHarvest

[@cujoenyo]

very interesting thank you. should have my own gardening up and running soon. do you think sweet potato can handle all day Florida summer sun?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Yes, absolutely they take it no problems!

[@ginafulton9722]

What time of year do you plant beans

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

depends on the type of beans. right now i would plant yard long beans and switch to cowpeas or black beans shortly after.

[@donnar8161]

Have you done a video about all full sun loving plants? I have the south side of my house which is all wasted space unless I use it for gardening beds. But it is truly all day sun. Will plants survive it or must I build in some sort of shade for the beds?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Great idea! There are plenty that can take it but many that cant. I will definitely do a video on that! For summer a few good full sun are luffa, cowpea, and okra. In winter tomatoes, beans, and squash.

[@kellifarnsworth658]

in another video you suggest soaking bean seeds. does it depend on the kind of bean seed?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

You can do it either way. I will soak the beans if I want to give them a head start.

[@marleybeers706]

What raised beds do you use? I see corrugated metal ones. What's the source and do you like those better than wood or concrete block?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

No, I typically prefer cedar beds or mounded rows. I got them to give them a try, this will be my first summer in them and my primary concern is if it will make the soil to hot. Time will tell. I got them from northern tools.

[@dawnallen123]

How do you prevent rabbits and animals from getting into your garden beds in FL? That's why I did a small ground garden and put some chicken wire around it. I am brand new to gardening. I just planted beans, and didn't use an inoculant. Will definitely do that next year. Love your channel.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

In my neighborhood we dont have rabbit problems. More squirrels and birds than anything. I live with them : ) Rabbits can dig under fencing if they decide to so if your having issues you may need to bury the wire down and out so they cant go under.

[@dawnallen123]

@@TheUrbanHarvest Thanks so much! I'm so glad I found you channel. This is my first garden, so learning as I go :) Big learning curve to go lol.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

You can also put small animal traps as well. Free meat to go with your vegetables. Use a non-lethal cage style trap if you have neighbor pets like cats roaming in your area. Although if you have cats in your area, I find the probability of wild animals getting into your garden low.

[@urbanharvestdfw]

Where did u get the innoculant from

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Burpee that time but most larger seed companies carry them. Ive gotten them from Southern Exposure, Johnnies, etc.

[@sansomspressurecleaningpoo9519]

Where are you located? I’m in Lake Worth Florida.

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

St. Pete : )

[@thuynguyen-km2lq]

Can you add innoculant after your bean is already 1 ft tall?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

Yes, Ive seen several clients do it with success, although it is ideal for future plantings to add it in the beginning.

[@IpainttodayChelmsfordMA]

I am a first time gardener here in Central Fl and I have been looking at my bean plants and noticed leaf minors. I live in a mobile home park so all of my plants right now are in containers. I've been trying to squash them with my fingers as well as remove leaves that look like a highway cluster. I've been spraying with peppermint neem oil as well every 5-7 days. Is there anything else I can do? Am I doing something wrong?

[@TheUrbanHarvest]

No, nothing wrong. They are very common here but luckily they dont do anything to the plants. Its purely cosmetic. They dont decrease yield or reduce plant growth. I just let them do their thing.

[@IpainttodayChelmsfordMA]

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for getting back to you so late but I had an issue with my computer. Your reply helped a tremendous amount! I'm not going to worry about them any more. I've been starting to worry about the amount of leaves I've been taking off my plants. So now, I will just let them (as you said) "do their thing!"@@TheUrbanHarvest

[@priayief]

I'm skeptical and curious. While this method looks interesting, if it's that good, surely there is some kind of field trial that shows it is worth the effort? Is there such a thing or should I just trust that you say it works?

Seriously? Innoculant studies show that there is zero benefit to using it. Most recent studies-all of them-show that it’s not worth it.

I agree, all you need is manure or compost. If you want a really good yield there is one thing thing you must do but it's nothing to do with bacteria.

Korean farming method doesn't work in most of the world because you need to have a large amount of seafood waste, and you can't live in an area with a large amount of wild predators. Lots of home gardening methods won't work for large scale farming. Also oil is actually really cheap (government regulations on its sale is the sole reason it costs so much) and the waste products provide massive amounts of fertilizer that professional farming eliminates the need for collecting large amounts of organic waste and composting it outside of chop and drop.
