Soil
Beans fix your soil with nitrogen that they naturally produce, so a moderately fertile, free-draining soil is required. Ensuring pH is within the recommended range.

Soil pH Level
6.5-7.0

Position
Full sun, preferably in an area of your patch that allows them to be trained vertically and therefore conserve space.
