Space for pole beans

6 years ago

I'm planning to build a simple 8 foot wide by 21 inch wide by 8 inch high garden bed. I'd like to plant two rows of pole beans in the bed with a separate trellis for each. This would result in the rows being about 12 inches apart. Is that too close together? The rows would be oriented north south.

Have you thought about the shade they would create? Usually rows are on an east-west axis. Spacing seems okay.

I have a 2 foot by 9 foot bed I use for my beans. I have harvested 75 pounds of Rattlesnake Pole Beans this summer. I have a trellis running down both of the 9 foot sides. Here are a few photos (first time I have had photos turn sideways).
