5 Best Bean Poles, Frames and Supports for Your Garden

GREETINGS from Minneapolis, Minnesota! FIRST time here on your channel. Not only do you give DETAILED gardening advice, but it’s HOW you SAY things that is so GREAT! Each word is PRECISE & ENTHUSIASTIC. Your hand GESTURES drive your point home and your English ACCENT is MUSIC to my ears!

Thks so much for these great ideas. My question is, if crop rotating, how easy is it to move these trellises?
I will try the teepee 1st...thks

Reminds me of the guy I was stuck next to on a trans Atlantic flight.

So again you have me thinking I have some pltsic pipe and some wire mesh and an arch is being made today thanks Ben amazing tips

I went to the creek and got some Cain poles. I do the A frame but I like to weave in more so I can grow a lot of beans. As long as there up off the ground that’s all that matter but I do like the over head tunnel idea.

So many old white people here oh my

I thought you can't grow beans in the same spot every year so a permanent frame isn't an option surely?

I am going to try the V frame this season. I am growing the Kentucky Wonder pole beans. I hope to have a nice harvest this year. It is my first year growing beans.

You re SO furrow in your teaching!

A Frame
With a trench either side to catch buckets of water
Runner beans love water so i make the trench to hold water. They also love rain as it makes the flowers set. If it’s really hot and dry use a water mister spray in the evening on the flowers to help pods set

I liked all of them

I love the tee pee style and arch thanks ❤

well done! I'll be using the teepee style or the long bamboo pole trellis, as we are windy here in Arizona and it may hold up. Thank you

I love first one as it doesn't take up much room and you could even use large pots! I would have loved to have seen you do a video on how to build the standard A frame as it's never very sturdy

Just put in my bean seedlings under a temp cover to give e them a chance so excited I did one of these wigwams thx but not fr tonight

The last one is so beautiful ❤

oooo illl be so excited to have supports and beans and all sorts soon! I love the idea!

Thank you! this was fantastic...I will try several of your ideas...like the bean arch and V structure. Also like the trellis idea for the climbing veggies...

I think I'll try the teepee, A-frame, and cattle fence up the wall.

So many ideas from this one video. I'm so excited about the potential of my little garden

I came here bc two of what I'm doing doesn't seem to be working. Last year in TX I used a metal trellis for beans in a pot, and when it got hot, they burned up, I guess bc the metal got too hot. So this year I decided to make some trellis out of cedar fence pickets, and guess what? The peas that came up don't seem to like it! I swear they're avoiding it, so I took it out. Maybe it's the smell of the cedar they don't like? Now I guess I'll cut some bamboo and use string. Steve, you must living in a mild climate if you're using metal for a trellis.

These videos always make me feel better. I think its the enthusiasm or maybe the music. It doesn't matter either way. Keep on rocking, mate!

I have been watching and learning from your videos. Thanks for all the tips.

Nice bamboo job,very good ideas for bamboo use .

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love ALL of your videos and I get so many ideas from seeing your garden! I have a bamboo patch and cattle panels so I will definitely be doing some of the examples that utilize them. I have my seeds, a ton of compost with horse, cow, and chicken manure composted, and working on preparing the beds for when the weather and dates are suitable! I am raring to go! 😂

To support my beans I like to tell them how proud of them I am, and how well they're doing. I tell them that I've always got their back no matter what happens.

We have such an issue with pests eating everything! That we have to net everything from beans to cabbage! Bettween the rabbits and the birds there will be not much left

This video was very helpful

My favorite is a 45° angle trellis, because even started on the far side of one bed and have it shade some of your other plants

I like to put a variety of frame shapes in, walls, arches, aframes for beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Good show , you were a Boy Scout , you know how to tie a tpee wrap , cheers Ben .

I just wanted to point out to new gardeners that all raw beans can give you food poisoning- make sure you soak and cook all beans before eating! Do not eat them raw, off of the vine!

Hello sweetheart and I love all of them. Happy vegetables and and Beans are wonderful and so good to eat. Thank you for the gift of your presentation of helping others. Yeah!!! 😊❤️🙏🌻🌱 let’s go eat and share with others. 👍👍

Ohhhh the B frame sounds even easier for harvesting. Although, until I'm living near my children who will help me setup frames, the teepee frame I can handle alone. Ohhhh and I like the trellis idea using long thick branches.... I kept my okra center thick branches for future use..... I can build a trellis like you did... looks great

Watched this one in the past and watching it again tonight. Have had trouble keeping my tied poles staying together. Observing your method more closely now. Think I got it with the teepee tying.
I'm still having trouble with the cords sliding down the poles as I wrap around from top to bottom. HELP PLZ

Hi Ben...
There was no end to green bean growth this year in our small Meridian ID backyard garden... somewhat the same size as shown in your bean support video. Just enough space for a couple of large tomato plants, several cukes, a couple of peppers, green onions and carrots, and of course the beans! With difficulties locating all the beans through its tall thickness, I had to search for a solution... and there you were! So impressed with the post and wire mesh cage system, and I knew right away that is what we needed, being able to walk through it to pick! Having just finished up removal of the tired plants, I am excited to soon install your system!! Thanks so much! :)

Brilliant man ... Marvelous

I like all the ideas! However as I’m really only growing for me I think a modest wigwam of 3 poles and a staggered planting of 6 plants will keep me in beans with plenty for the freezer too! Do wonder if I could try the tunnel though for beans, cucumber and anything else that wants to climb - purely so I can put a deck chair for the shade if this summer is going to happen again!

Great idea..💧🌱

Advice please first year we've grown runner beans. They just started producing the actual runner beans but I've noticed some of the bottom leaves have gone yellow so I cut them off. Does this mean that the plant is diseased and needs to be thrown. I made the mistake with peas and ended up sick. Do you think as rest of plant ok the beans safe to eat ?? Advice please Ben 🙏

Nice looking garden 👌

Apart from your nice presentation and valuable tips i like your English.

I'm in the process of turning a patch of my lawn into a veg patch and I've just planted some peas and beans in the hopes of a late harvest, I'm wondering if an X might be a good halfway of the A and V frames? I'm thinking still easy to make with canes and compact space like A, but maybe with bonus of hanging beans like the V

Wowed! Beautiful. Thank you

Thank you for the very useful information.

I don't know which way I prefer. BUT I can't wait to try them. AND not just with beans. Though, Vertical does seem so much better than bush . . . for beans and other plants. I'm actually going to make a trellis for my Malabar spinach first. I didn't realize my malabar was going to vine when I bought it. But it does, and I think it will be glorious on a teepee or A frame. I can't wait to see if it will be perennial in my zone. Thanks. Your video made me think that I would be successful with whichever method I try.

Ps I'm wanting to trail mine up a trellis but what should I do with all that once it's produced beans and they've been harvested? Do we just leave it to flower again next spring 🤔 sorry that's 2 questions. 😊

Hi there I love your videos. One question if you don't mind, how do you stop the snails and slugs from eating all your crops?
