• Sow all beans except cowpea, yard-long and lima beans 2.5 cm deep in heavy soil or 4 cm deep in light soil.
• The other three types of beans (cowpea, yard-long and lima) should be planted 1 cm deep in heavy soil and 2.5 cm deep in light soil.
• Cover the seeds with sand, peat, vermiculite or aged compost to prevent soil crusting.
• Plant bush bean seeds 5-10 cm apart in rows that are 61-91 cm apart.
• Plant pole beans in either rows or hills with seeds 15-25 cm apart in rows that approximately 1m apart. Provide support for pole beans as well.
