Love that you're using amaranth in your "3 sisters" garden- I remember a book on grain and pseudo grain culture in the 70s - in the bit on amaranth, they talked about the ritual importance, and how the seeds were planted in small cells (like peat pots - don't remember what they used) and planning out in huge areas ... I've got the perennial relative Good King Henry that's a decade old, and going strong. The leaves are some of my earliest greens, (along with my nettles) and I can eat throughout the year.

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now and there is always something to learn. I’m copying what you’ve done here with runners and dwarf beans and I will be planting some dill, nasturtiums and parsley under/near them. I’ve already planted some cornflowers under some of my runners. I’m looking forward to seeing all the flowers alongside the veg. Thank you for sharing your experiences. You present so well. Always clear instructions and the camera work is also excellent, so congratulations to whoever does the filming and recording. You’ve done a fine job! It’s always a pleasure to watch all these well made videos. So thank you Huw and the team. You and Charles Dowding are my ‘go to’ people for information. You have made such a difference to my own gardening. I’ve been learning to grow for about 20 years now and have tried all sorts of methods and made all sorts of mistakes and although I’ll always be learning, I do love to see things working so well (most of the time) and this no dig method is wonderful. I’ve not looked back since discovering no dig. I did all that double digging and weeding for years and I’m over the moon at how much labour I’m saving working like this … and the results are way better than the old fashioned methods. Mulching has brought my soil back to life! Hope I haven’t gone on too long, but THANK YOU!

I like the idea of growing the beans round a water butt. I will give that a try. I tend to put a plastic sheet around my earliest beans but it will be even better with a water butt inside the wigwam which will heat up during the day and stop the beans cooking and then keep them warm at night. By the time I need the water, those beans will be finishing, or I can run off a pipe. They predict another La Nina event, so maybe more of those frosty morning in April. I have also experimented with intercropping runner beans with runner beans. I planted out some beans Mid june as plants, and at the same time I popped in a few beans. The plants cropped very quickly, and when they were more or less coming to an end the sown beans were just flowering.

Thanks Huw. Another thought on why you might be getting more yield from the runner beans grown on the water containers: The criss-cross pattern on the sides probably helps the vines and therefore the leaves to spread out more, enabling leaves to get extra sunlight and perform more photosynthesis. When I was growing beans up poles last year, I noticed that the vines and leaves were really tightly crowded around the poles, with less growth in between. This also made it more difficult to harvest, as beans formed deep inside matted vines. This year, I have strung a large trellis netting (6 inch squares) between the poles in a long row. I'm hoping that will encourage the beans to spread out evenly across the entire row. Fingers crossed!
