For 2 years running my runner beans have tried to lie down on the job. I
do my best but obviously it's not good enough. As I grow them in the
same place each year I thought of getting 2 metal posts or angle iron 3
metres long and burying them at each end about 1 meter in the ground.
Has anyone successfully done this, where might the best place to get
such supports?



Someone on the local allotment has what looks a bit like a climbing
net from an assault course for his beans.
