   Are broad beans easy to grow?

   • Early maturing. Choose a warm, sunny, sheltered growing site for your broad beans, with well-drained soil. Before sowing or planting out, weed the area thoroughly, then add plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost – at least a bucketful per square metre/yard – to improve moisture retention in the soil.

   What type of beans can you grow from seed?

   • This type of broad bean is usually heavy cropping with each pod containing around 10 beans. Longpod is the largest type and the plants can reach heights of over 2 metres and so need supporting. Growing broad beans from seed is relatively straight forward and they can be sown directly into the ground.

   How many seeds do you need to grow a broad bean?

   • Broad beans have a very good germination rate so it's only necessary to sow one seed for every broad bean plant wanted. Sow a couple more seeds at the end of a row just in case one or two plants don't grow. For dwarf varieties sow seeds 15cm / 6in apart, for taller growing varieties sow 23cm / 9in apart.
