Planting autumn beans methods and steps

1. Choose the variety

When planting autumn beans, you first need to select suitable varieties. It is best to choose varieties that are disease-resistant and relatively heat-resistant. They also need to have a certain degree of adaptability to the environment, so that the germination rate will be much higher than other varieties.

2. Seeding and planting

When sowing autumn beans, pay attention to the distance between two plants. You can put 2-3 seeds in each hole, then fill the hole with soil, water it, and make sure the soil is completely soaked. After about 3 days, the seeds will start to germinate.
