    Built my runner bean support today, the way I grow them is the standard double row of canes crossed and tied at the top to the central horizontal cane , however at each end Due to the exposed location I always dig down and sink a post about 14″ and tie the top horizontal cane to this, it’s never let me down.
    This being the first year of no dig and having formed the beds in January it was interesting to see how the soil was looking as I committed the no dig sin and DUG the holes. Excitingly it was looking great far more worms present than past years and the decomposing and structure was evidencing working.
    The actual beans will in a weeks time be started off in the greenhouse in root trainers and transplanted when ready.
