| Getting ready to plant out my contender beans. I'm building a long narrow box for them. Probably 4' long, 8" high soil. My question. How narrow can the boxes be (front to back). I was thinking 4". Is that enough? |

| I'd go with 12" minimum as the plants get at least that wide. Otherwise they will be laying/falling over out of your box. Plus that would make the box useful for other crops as well. Can't do much at all with only 4 inches width. Dave |
