Well drained, warm soil in full sun is best. Raised beds help with both drainage and warmth. Use 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10′) of row. Too much nitrogen in fertilizer or manure may cause poor pod set and delayed maturity. If beans flower but do not set pods, the cause can be zinc deficiency. Try spraying the plants with kelp based fertilizer. Wet leaves on crowded plants are subject to diseases. Thin plants to increase air circulation and avoid touching the leaves while they are wet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAKA Orca and Yin Yang beans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEasy to grow and fun to harvest \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompact bushes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Coast Seeds","offers":[{"title":"15g (~15 Seeds)","offer_id":48532058702048,"sku":"BN176A","price":4.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/3340\/9702\/files\/BN176_Calypso-Bean-Seeds_IMG_3010_x640_crop_center_333f6331-efb1-4f0e-b5fa-453edc7794cf.webp?v=1768195156","url":"https:\/\/urban-grow.ca\/products\/west-coast-seeds-calypso-bean","provider":"Urban Grow Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
