The pole variety of Beans are of strong running growth 
and need stout poles or other support on which to climb. 
They require a longer season to mature pods than the 
bush varieties, but by reason of their stronger growth 
are more productive, and growing on poles are more 
easily gathered. When planted in the garden, poles should 
be set three to four feet apart each way. A shovelful of 
rich compost or well-rotted manure should be placed in 
the soil at the base of the pole before planting the seed.
