Green bean help.

[Addicted]

I just bought 11 green bean plants tonightnand I need to know what type of container would be best.I hace two large rubbermade tubs I can use,20 gallon probably?

Questions are

#1,How deephould I make the soil,the tubs are deep and will probably have to be cut down some.

#2,How far apart should I space each plant?

#3,do they need full sun?

Thanks
Jason.

If you're going to drill holes in the bottom, you might consider also securing a set of heavy-duty casters (wheels) -- available from hardware stores -- with tie-wrap (easiest way) to make it a mobile container like someone else mentioned here.

Great idea but my containers sit on and artound a picnic table,Surrounded by this dreadfull bamboo I'm constantly cutting.So ang moving of the containers is done by me lifting.

If your beans are pole beans and the bamboo is canepole-type -- you got yourself a handy source for your bean supports. If the bamboo is timber-type, you could lay them on the ground, lashed together and make a bamboo patio....

Well I will just guess and plant them in 8 inches of soil and 5 inches apart.
