Growing tips
A soil temperature of 8-10°C is required for germination; germination period 8-10 days at 12-15°C. Subsequent sowing is possible from mid-May to the end of June. It can be sown in rows (6-8 cm apart) or in clusters (4-5 beans/seed). It prefers loose, humus-rich soil in a sunny and sheltered position. It is recommended to start lightly at a plant height of 15 cm and water in dry conditions. Stability is increased by sowing in clumps and regular hoeing around the plants. During the main harvest period, you can harvest the ripe pods every three days. If you cover the seedlings with fleece or foil, early sowing is possible, even if the temperatures are still low. Nitrogen fertilization is not necessary as the nodule bacteria fix nitrogen on the roots.
