I throw dry great northern beans pods in a pillow case. Toss them in the dryer on air dry. Most pop out if they are really dry pods.

@TheresaAtPrairieRoad 3 года назад

Interesting strategy! One caution-- if you plan to save any of the seed for replanting the next year, make sure you aren't cracking seed coats while in the drier. This will cause the seed to dry out and will seriously reduce the germination rate. Won't really matter if you are just eating them but not great for replanting.

@@TheresaAtPrairieRoad Don't use heat. Air cycle only...

Paint mixer. Drill. 5 gallon bucket and lid. Then a screen across my lawn trailer.

@@cody481 I learned a new one. You just cut the whole plant off with dry pods and fold a plastic tarp around them and ride you car tire back and forth over them. It works.

@NormBaker. Год назад

Yes...that's why I said air dry.

I saw a old timer showed how he did his dry bean plants. He would lay the whole dry plants in a tarp on the driveway. He would then fold over the sides of the tarp over it and then slowly ride back and forth over the beans plants with his truck to split the pods. I tried this and it does work. I then took out the plant stems and then used two bins pouring the beans back and forth in the wind to separate the chafe out.

Use the lightest vehicle you have-- to make sure you don't crack the seed coats. Doesn't matter is you're just gonna eat 'em but if you want to save seed and plant some back next year, cracking the seed coat will affect the germination. But YES-- this will make very quick work of it!

That's a great idea! Only caution is if you're gonna save any of those beans for seed. You might crack the seed coats with the weight of a car. A small lawn tractor might work better!

@@TheresaAtPrairieRoad the seeds overall seem to be OK

@NormBaker. 9 месяцев назад

Haha... I just made a comment to that with out reading the others. It does work yes!

@karensinclair1954 3 месяца назад

Gosh this is such a process. And we don't have such a frame. So something else we need to get somehow. No thanks, I'll shell them the old fashioned way.

Easy way to thresh beans 🪰

@TheresaAtPrairieRoad Год назад

Hope you have a terrific harvest with LOTS of beans to thresh this year!

@homesteaderfiftywmartha603 Год назад

@@TheresaAtPrairieRoad yes - TY! I planted nearly 20- 50 ft rows- that is a lot of beans / peas for us!

@sansara700 Год назад

Hi from NJ. Nice video. What do you do with the shells?. I AM DESPERATE looking for that. I am willing to pay (at least for 10oz) for shipping costs and any expense for bagging, etc if you could sent it to me. I use for medicinal purposes. Thank you so much.

@TheresaAtPrairieRoad Год назад

Sorry! All the shell refuse goes into the compost and is recycled.
