Hey Ya'll!

I have several string bean plants growing in one container. I crowded them a bit and need to transplant them elsewhere. I garden in containers, but I was wondering if it would be safe to transplant these somewhere in my yard or near their house? Sun is no problem, nor is watering, however, my main concern is that the house area has been sprayed with pesticide and also weed killer now and again. Of course I would not spray these on my plants, but is it ok to plant in soil that has experienced this type of chemical introduction?

Thanks!

I grow yard-long oriental beans along my fence and allow them to run up strings on the fence. They grow great and we eat them routinely. Transplant them without harming their roots. Pesticide and weed killer tends to evaperate over time; I would give it 6 months. To be safe you could create a raised garden and use garden soil you know has no pesticides/weed killer.
