Product Description

Pole Lima Bean Culture - Plant 1" deep in hills 3' apart each way, 5 or 6 beans in a hill, then set 6' high rough poles into each hill. When plants are established, thin to 3 or 4 strongest plants in each hill. If you plant in rows, space seeds 4" apart in rows 2' apart and use Trellis netting for vine support. Stake the netting every 3' to prevent sagging.
