Pole beans in a 3 gallon root pouch

11 years ago

Hi All,
Quick question. I wanted to plant some pole beans to make a green bean teepee for my son. I have to use raised beds and containers (I live on solid rock). So my thought was to put the root pouches (fabric pots like a smart pot) in a semi-circle to plant the beans and put the stakes in. I haphazardly ordered the 3 gallon root pouches (largest size the seller had). Will these be large enough? I was thinking 3 seeds per bag.
Thanks.

Three seeds per bag, but thin to 1 maybe 2 at the most. I crowded some pole beans 2 years ago and they grew fine, but didn't produce as expected.
