Pole Bean Bed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Considering my pole bean sprouts are going to be transplanted into larger pots this weekend, I decided it would be a good idea to prepare the bed and build a pole bean tower. So, I turned the soil in the bed and made a trip to Home Depot to buy some long stakes. (Notice the happy lettuce sprouts growing on both sides of the pole bean bed!)<\/p><\/div>\n

Six Foot Gardening Stakes<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

I chose to purchase six foot stakes to build a tower approximately five feet tall when complete. The stakes are metal inside, coated with a plastic coating to keep it from rusting – very handy. Here is the link for them:\u00a0 http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/7rhbzvj<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I anchored each stake in the bed and angled them toward the center, where I tied them together. After evenly spacing the number I wanted to build, I tied a stabilizer across the top of the whole structure to make it sturdier – especially when it will have to bear the weight of multiple bean plants climbing all over it.<\/p>\n

NOTE ***\u00a0 DO NOT build one of these with a mesh. A mesh tower has a tendency to cause the plants to tie down and strangle each other…. not what you want.<\/p>\n

Here is the result of today’s task. Very FUN!!!
