The Difference Between Trellising Beans and Peas 

I just use jute twine to weave the lattice. At the end of the season, I just detatch the entire lattice and throw the entire mass, jute lattice and plant matter, into the compost. Easy cleanup.

I know we trellis them differently. I just didn't know why. Now I do. ❤❤❤ Thanks !❤❤❤❤

Heres a cool tip from the native American people. Grow corn or maze in between your climbers. Plant the corn/maze a few weeks to a month before. Then the climbers can climb the stalks. Bonus points if you plant pumpkin/squash/zucchini around the outside so it can form a mat that helps keeps pests an weeds out and shades the soil to retain water better. This is called the 3 sisters. 😊

I just kept it as is and made a wall of bean branches over the years which also acts as a privacy enhancement because it blocks the neighbour's view into my backyard better than my actual fence. I have also used this technique to build a sort of roof over my barbecue with beans which is good enough to protect from drizzles and even snow (I let ice form to make it sturdier in the winter).

New gardener here. This year will be my first time growing peas and beans. I was about to plant peas and beans together on a chicken wire trellis (provided by our community garden) this week. You saved me!

Thank you, any suggestions for tomatoes. They grow all over the place

Excellent advice!

This is timely. I just planted 36 pea seedlings! I’ll be sure to use the correct trellis for them. Thanks!

This info is worth sooo much!!!❤❤

I love this advice!

Perfect timing for my beans.

I'll try this next year :) thanks

Thank you ! I love vertical gardening

THANK YOU SO MUCH, i trelaced my peas like beans and wondered why they all keep falling down, now i know how to trelace them, thanks.

I used welded hog fencing for both peas and beans. My pea trellis is roughly 6ft, and the beans 8ft.. they'll grow beyond that. In the spring, I use an angle grinder with a heavy-duty wire wheel to re move the vines... time spent 30 minutes.

Thats why I have 1200ft of "bush" beans

I wish you were around when I found this out this spring😅😅😅 I know this now but I did have really good luck with my piece growing them on a wire fence using electroculture energy antennas. And when I transferred my new beans to my toddler poles with single strings they interlocked amongst themselves and they were so easy to clean I had beans for almost 7 months straight before they stopped producing. It finally got cold where I live. All my stuff died except for my fruit trees and their covered LOL😅😅😅 thank you for the amazing information

Wow, we need this info right now! Big thanks for this! 🌱🌱

Great info! Thank you.

… thank you. I HATE cleaning up beans at the end of the season. I don’t even eat the things, I hate them- I grow them for my mom, who loves them. This will be a huge help. :D

My mom used to use some spare cattle fence panels for the beens, and at the end of the year, the panels got thrown on top of a bonfire to burn off the dried, dead vines. Benefit of having a huge garden on a livestock farm, I guess! With the amount of beans she grew, it was less labor to build a fence every year. The method in this video looks much more manageable for a smaller, in-town garden!

Great info, thanks! Would you mind telling me what raised beds those are that you have? Seems like the ones I find are either 6 inches or 3 feet deep!

Thanks for the reminder to explain the difference between bush green beans and trellising ones to my grandma 🤟🏼😅

Great instructions and explanation!

Very helpful, thank you👍🏼👍🏼

My dad always planted the beans next to the corn ❤ they climb up the corn perfectly

These are the tips that I value!

Thank you!

Thank you

Great idea, didn't know the after part 👍

Great, thank you

Wow. Thank you for tip

Awesome tip!

Great tips!

Wow! Thanks for the tip!

Ive got a piece of rebar year ago easy to but there and easy to remove the vines and usable for both

I love you funny vegetable man.

That’s the main thing I hate having to worry about getting thing down at the end of the season

Thankyou good sir I’ll be using this next season ❤️ loved the peas I grew this year. Anyone else struggle with tomatoes? Had a great few years until this year. Total shite. Maybe 6-8 big when I should have been swimming in them

So smart!!

Really great tips!

great info, thanks!

Thank you thank you!!

Great little short video! I too thought of using twine instead. But couldnt have thought of it without your explanation first. I also love doing craft and learning how to tie/knot stuff boyscout style. So I wont mind trying to put together a twine trellis OR I may get all tangled up in it 😂 Either way I really like this content. Thank you for sharing.

I got way more beans from the bean plants that grew up thick stakes( 1" bamboo)versus the plants that grew up string.

Pro Tip: Dip the bottoms of your upright poles, the portion that sticks into the ground, in Tar Roof Coating... or my favorite: Aluminized Roof Coating. It matches the galvanized poles. 😊 Aaannnddd Wha-lah! No more rusting or galvanic action.

Wish i knew this

thank u thank u thank u

Wow you rock

Thank you! How do you keep pests away? My entire bean garden was wiped out when I was away for a few days.

I like how you remove trellis after season has ended. Far too many leave up their gear and it looks creepy in the winter months

My grandad just uses sticks. Works very well

My beans went straight for my tomatoes and climbed those! Was it a problem yes, did I learn my lesson yes!

Nice now question... topsy-turvy tomatoes over the top of another tomatoe plant intertwine them the topsy-turvy one holds the other up trip appropriately will this work well? Potential problems?

What kind of knot did you use for the twine?

Trying an angle approach

And for this very reason, why I use steel hog fencing for both

Have tou tried the "Mexican" way? Corn+ beans+ pumpkin, they help each other quite nicely, but i dont know if is doable in small scale.

Why not use a compostable twine? Like hemp or sisal?

😮😮😮😮❤❤❤🎉🎉 thanks

What are the posts for your trellis called?

I just use some old metal fencing and a blow torch

I use our deer fence, let the bean vine die/dry completely and brush off with a broom pretty easily.

Switch to coco coir / burlap jute and its all good for the green bin. If you can't find coco, ask a hop grower. They use it so the whole Bine can go in the harvesters

What kind of beans are those? Tia!😊

Wait, serious question. Could you not use a propane torch to clear them off and mix the ash in the soil?

If you use hog panels for both, you can let the plant wither and dry and then burn the whole thing

I thought that this was the traditional way of doing it? My granny had always only used this method.

😮 ❤❤❤❤

I must be old and grumpy, screw unwinding peas from the twine, out with both!

I dream to grow peas, coz I love them so much. But I live in uae😢 climate here not good

Just get a big roll of twine or biodradable material and then just throw the string down into the soil with the vines still attatched and let them compost in the soil with the twine without having to seperate and reuse it like plastic or nylon

Use canes for your beans, at the end of the season you can just slide the poles out. Easy

Is it okay to start beans and peas in cells then transplant? I know some plants don't like that.

A better quicker and easier option is to use a natural fiber twine such as hemp or cotton so you can just cut it off your frame and throw the vines and the natural fiber string in the compost together without having to separate the vines from the string. Stop using plastic in your garden

You are lucky your beans without Japanese beetle damage!

Beads?

use course chicken wire insetad of netting. End of the season you can just pull the plants off. And netting doesn't last decades.

just let the peas climb up a metal grid and then just torch the plants with a flame thrower once they are dry

thank you professor Green jeans 😂

I hate it when my wall of peas comes crashing down

I just leave them...why clean?

Which are which? Strangely, peas are beans. Like lemons are limes.

Beans are like a dollar a bag at the sore. Maybe 1.99. It's not even worth growing them unless you eat them as green beans

Try corn instead

Dumb question. "Beans" - are these green beans? Shelled pintos? ??

What is it with Americans and taking the simplest of things and making it out to be some super complex ordeal?

Say what? I think what you have to say might be viable but something about your delivery is so obscure that I don’t understand what you’re saying. so, what are you saying?

I don't eat peas or beans.

What are you swearing about?

Gangsta

Great tips but I utterly reject your concept that if it takes extra time to remove the beans at the end of the season the value of growing them is zero. We aren’t professional farmers and don’t need to keep to a capitalist mentality. They still have value just for our enjoyment of growing them.

Dude lost me at transplanting beans. Tell me you’re an internet gardener without telling me you’re an internet gardener.

Why can't you use twine both vertical and horizontal and then after untie and pull through from the base or side for horizontal ones? Why do you have to pull each part of the planet off. Seems like a pain in the ass and a waste of time. 😂 I'd be throwing it in the compost and seeing if I can pick it out later 😂

This is good Information! I started growing peas with my corn so I didn’t have to strip it all away when it’s done

Thank you!
