Instructions

You can plant Garden Contender Bush Beans seeds outdoors when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Plant 2 seeds every 4". Soaking seeds overnight before planting will speed germination. Thin to 1 plant every 4" when the plants have four leaves. Pick early and often to encourage growth.

Planting Depth: 1 - 1.5"

Seed Spacing: Sow Garden Contender Bush Beans seeds roughly 4" apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 20" apart.

Nutrient Care Instructions: Apply SUPERthrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.

Suggestions

Avoid working around beans when wet as this may spread diseases. When weeding, hoe gently because beans are shallow-rooted. Mulch plants only after thinning.
