How to Grow Broad Bean – Tripoli

When to Plant

Sow seeds in autumn or winter. In cooler regions, early spring planting is also an option.

Sun & Soil

Prefers full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Adding compost or aged manure before planting will give the plants a strong start.

Planting Guide

• Sow seeds directly into the garden, 4-5 cm deep
• Space plants 15-20 cm apart, with 50 cm between rows
• Water well after planting and keep soil consistently moist
• Provide support, as plants can grow up to a metre tall
• Pinch out growing tips when flowers appear to encourage more pod production

Harvesting Tips

Pick pods when they are firm but still tender. For dried beans, leave pods on the plant until they turn brown, then shell and store.
