My dad was an organic gardener his whole life. No matter where we lived we had a garden and a freezer full of vegetables for the winter. One of the things he taught me was to plant a second batch of beans 2 weeks after planting the first batch. Especially if the garden was tiny. Thanks for your videos.
In college I killed every plant I bought including a cactus. I have learned so much from your channel that I am now able to grow veggies for my family. I would love to see some tips on how to harvest/dry out seeds from the garden to keep it going year after year without having to keep buying seeds. Thanks for all your amazing videos!
PSA: Some commenters are correct in that beans are legumes and thus fix nitrogen with Rhizobium bacteria, so it's important not to OVER-fert with nitrogen. But this is also quite a unique way to grow beans vs. how they are normally grown, which is why I recommended adding some balanced organic fertilizer that containers nitrogen AND other nutrients.
The beauty of the greenstalk is that you can just reorder the layers, so you could rotate the bottom level up to the top and vice-versa, and in theory those soluble nutrients will wash back down and re-equalize. It won't be perfect, as the original bottom plants have already absorbed a lot, but I've had success with this approach. I've also noticed that, despite the great design, greenstalks tend to starve the lower levels of water. I suspect that the weep holes just start getting clogged. So, I tend to rotate everything every few weeks to just keep things more balanced, and it gives me a chance to wash out those watering trays. And if you rotate the tiers proactively, you tend to prevent the nutrient imbalance before it happens. (I do the first couple of rotations after only one week each, because a lot of the nutrient migration happens early.) Side note: I use letters and numbers for the pockets, so each tier gets a letter and each pocket gets a number, so A1-6, B1-6, etc. Makes it easier if I want to keep a log and/or manage the succession planting of greens. I just write the numbers on the outside of each pocket with a permanent marker.
Sounds labor intensive and defeats the purpose of buying their expensive vertical planter. 🙄 Those planters are extremely heavy to be “rotating “ from top to bottom and vice-versa. Some people use containers to put less stress on their backs & knees. Doesn’t sound efficient for women and people with mobility issues.
I gave my daughter some old beans in the pantry to play for sensory development. Now they are growing all over the spot and my kids are excited. Im excited too.
nice video! i never thin out and chop my seedlings when more then 1 comes up in a cell...i always split and transplant them!! no sense to thin seeds ,,never made sense to me always transplant with no shock !! been gardening since the late 80s!! lol keep up the great videos!
Suggestion for all the nutrients going to the bottom layers, couldn't you just disassemble the layers and put top trays on bottom and bottom ones on top? I also heard when they look like they are done producing, cut the plant way back to one little sprig with 2-3 leaves and it will regrow into new producing plant. It has an established root system.
Just planted beans in clear cups with my kids for some fun observation of germination. Never had problems transplanting them before. Thanks for upholding the idea of starting bean seeds indoors and in effect supporting preschool spring projects everywhere. 😊
How do you combat the pests once you discover them? Do you clip the leaves? Do you look for the pest and remove it gently? Or is there a formula sold in store we can get to help combat them?
Not sure why but this weekend, I have been OBSESSED with your channels. Like I have watched around 10 hours of content the last three days alone. :0 Although it is great information, so thank you for providing the content
@@Doctoranthetardis , true, beans are nitrogen fixing, they pull nitro from the air, form a symbiotic relationship with a bateria in soil creating root nodules, which basically makes nitro for legumes.
I'll tell you my experience with Greenstalk. I ordered the 1st one as a leaf 5 tier. I got the base on wheels. Absolutely no issues with it. Then with coupon I ordered the original 5 tier. No base and it's level, has fallen over 2 times now. Excuse excuse excuse and they will send me a refund when I send it back! Are you kidding me? It's not top heavy, put together properly and planted with Promix.. All I asked for was another base. Not willing and from the son-in-law of owner. So I'm telling everyone to not trust Greenstalk to do the right thing!
Wow I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been looking for growing beans in the greenstalk! And I never knew you could start green beans and transplant 🤯 thank you for all the info!!
I'm going to try using a bunch of my old pots and put five around on the bottom and then 4 on top of those and then 2 or 3 and then 1 on top. A circular pyramid.
What are some other plants that would do well in a vertical tower? What can you mix and match? I just bought one, and want to maximize it's use. Thanks!
I'm really love this. Very helpful I think you will get 20 Bean pods. I want to grow snow peas♥️ also very cool apron. I really want the little garden table set up you have.
I WANTED ONE OF THESE BUT I COULDN'T AFFORD IT SO I WAS GOING TO SAVE UP FOR 2 OF THEM...BUT THEN I FOUND A KNOCK OFF OF IT AT DOLLAR TREE BOUGHT 10 OF THEM...IM GOING TO SEE IF IT WORKS UNTILL I CAN BUY THE "GREEN STOCK" ONE'S 👍😊
Great video - very helpful. Did a few beans in the Greenstalk last year - now I have some great info on how to maximize the bean harvest and diagnose any nutrient issues!
I'm doing some stringbean research and came to peruse some of your videos I may have missed from years ago. I'm prefacing that to say that I ffwd'ed and landed at 7:20, and was like.... "Wait. WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT TO DOOOO AND HOW IS THIS RELATED TO BEEEEANS???!!!" 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WOW bonus Monday with 2 videos.....Love the Apron!!! going to order one. I am always loosing stuff when I garden. Great tips on the Beans btw. Have you ever dried them or have a video on what you do to preserve them if you have a huge harvest?
Hi. Just found your channel. Subscribed. Thanks for the tips. Question: How do you control pests attacking your beans? What do you use? Powder or a spray?
Great tips! Last summer, I successfully grew blue lake bush beans but these bright green caterpillars with bulbous black heads were rampant. How would you suggest getting rid of those/prevention. It was frustrating and gross constantly picking them off/squishing them.
I water my Greenstalk and THEN liquid fertilizer - you won't be washing things out. Also keeping Greenstalks uniformly moist eliminate shock of drying out and overwatering.
I do enjoy your gardening tips. We live in London, UK and you know what that means!! Overcrowding and plenty of rain. Oh and lockdown because of the Coronavirus. Keep up the good work.
Question PLEASE??? 🙏 When should you pick the flowers & when not to... & on which plants?? 🤷♀️ I heard some plants are done with their life cycle once they flower, but you can pick the flower heads to keep them producing longer. Or to help young plants grow bigger, such as with cucumber & pepper plants. So I picked all the first flowers of my young bean plants... but then saw a vid saying to pick excess foliage to spur more flowers to grow. I'm so confused. 😒
Hi Kevin. I’m a new follower and relatively new gardener. I’ve been binge watching your videos lately and you got my butt off the couch to finally set up my compost bin. It had been shoved into the corner of my yard from when I moved in (3 years ago...) My question is for my current new project of bush beans. I’ve never planted them before and the seeds were given to me by my father-in-law so I don’t know what variety they are. I’ve ordered a set of 5, 10-gallon grow bags and am planning on transferring them in. I was eyeing a tower but the price was a bit too much for me currently. Anyways, how many can a plant in each bag without them being overcrowded. Just 2 plants or could I manage 3?
Love you my friend ! Thx for all your information !🥰 I live in Cleveland Ohio,so I am planting inside right now, the seeds ! I am new to vegetables ! But not new to gardening ! Flowers ! But you can’t eat them 😂! I use to be a flight attendant for AA and spent many overnights on your home of SAN ! Love it ! Especially Old Town !🥰 where did you find the tower garden ? Ok. Thx love your videos !
I planted Asparagus beans more than 3months ago and they've produced lotsa leaves and crept up the chicken fence-ladder that I've installed but no beans yet!! What am I doing wrong? I've also noticed that they're infested with black ants. Help! (Love your apron btw and I'm a super fan of your epic videos!!
Well you didn't give me time to comment on number of beans you harvested! Lol! I was going to guess 30! Thanks for tips as I'm new to gardening veggies!
I just received my Garden Stalk and I'm excited to grow beans. I have a few different kinds of bean seeds. Do you have any plans to make more videos about growing in this system? Curious about organizing different types of plants in it.
I’m very disappointed in the Greenstalk company. I just purchased a Leaf for my strawberries because their website & on the materials I received said it was fine to plant strawberries in the Leaf, only to find they are no longer recommended for overwintering strawberries in the Leaf per the inventor’s daughter on the GreenStalk Gardeners closed FB group. I reached out to the company, and customer service said I’d have to pay $25 to return it & then order an Original. It’s unfair to ask the customer to pay for their marketing mistake. I was so excited for such a neat concept, but it’s not a good company.
Oh that's awesome! Had my hand in gardening for the past year and looking forward to doing beans. Which video can I watch to find out more about the vertical tower you have there? Secondly if i cant get it, what is a suitable container depth to plant these beans? I always assumed beans were climbing type plants and require a trellis.
I'm growing bush beans. I moved them outside, but they do NOT like the heat and seem to fry within minutes. I'm having to constantly move them around my yard (sunlight shade, etc) and then I'm bringing them back inside at night. They are in containers, but there has got to be an easier way to do this, or one spot that I can just leave them in all the time. They are about five inches high right now. Any tips are appreciated!
I don't know why but I always forget his name is Kevin because I guess my brain has just automatically decided his name was Nate and I cannot convince it otherwise
can this system be commercialized? in my country green beans is one of the best "high-price" produce but I am not sure if I should put the capital in expanding my hydroponics farm.
💜💜💜 Please help me, My bean plants seam to be completely healthy but I don't get any bods. There was one time where I thought it had died and was about to get rid of it but the next couple of days she had all new leaves covering the dead or close to dead leaves. I usually start inside and then continue outside in large pot. Please help💜💜💜
I got the strike beans and purple hull I garden in containers mostly 5 and 7 gal grow bags. That being said how many bush beans would you put in each pot I've been told 1 I've grown 3 in that size container but I've gotten mosaic virus on those blue lake bush beans so I'm doing the strike bush beans to hopefully not have that problem this yr this is only my 3 yr gardening and I havent done well in the green bean area I also did rattle snake beans same problem and the bean bug was also a problem. I hate those bean bugs I use cold pressed neem oil and bt for their worm stage any advice would be appreciated thank you. Love your garden
Your beans are dark green because all the water has pooled towards the bottom, it's the lack of fresh oxygen in the soil that's turning the leaves dark green...
Dude I'm Italian I use a kitchen apron that's me that's what they were used 4 years ago in Italy you hold the ends up and you got the size of a trash bag to carry stuff in and comes with pockets owns the pockets just for the women out there
Thanks for the bean info. I am trying beans in my garden this year. First time since my parents passed as they were epic gardeners. One question. I can get fresh organic cow manure. Would that help my beans if I use it in a manure tea for my beans and other green leafy plants?
Seen beans look wilted throughout and yellow above bottom row of the tower. Spider mites like the dry. Possibly why their attack was near the top. That tower may need a deterrent to the gravity of the water
I just started getting into the bean world :) I'm growing 1 blue lake 1 yellow brittlewax 2 dragon tongues, 2 royal burgundy, 2 mung bean plants, all are bush type lol. Growing indoors in a grow tent as it's still too cold here in Nova Scotia. Just wondering if I need to alter their light cycle to trigger flowering or if they flower on their own? I have one plant per 2 gallonish pots, under a cheap 1000w led light in promix hp soil (going to run general hyo 3 part nutrient line). Thanks in advance!
I am by no means an expert, but I feel like an Aquaponics set up would be best for preventing nutrients from succumbing to gravity, as the nutrients are constantly replenished in an Aquaponics system. And no need for adding nutrients... just feed your fish good organic food! Anyways, nice video and great info. I love the idea of vertical gardening/farming

Beans pull nitrogen from the air dude... they can get it from the ground but it's not as good for the soil health.
The tower... rotate your pots from bottom to top regularly to keep nitrogen draining into the top of the tower
You can also use an innoculant to further help them fix nitrogen

I like the grow tower! Thank You for these tips Kevin! I have Bush Bean seeds...glad to know I can start them indoors. That apron is very nice
You're very welcome - you got this!
I love sprouting beans in a mason jar with moist paper towel. Works like a charm every time and they transplant perfectly!
Yum!
I'm thinking 42 pods and that apron is boss.
How do you combat the pests once you discover them? Do you clip the leaves? Do you look for the pest and remove it gently? Or is there a formula sold in store we can get to help combat them?
Put the mycos directly on the roots, its more effective, might help w the transplant shock.
Not sure why but this weekend, I have been OBSESSED with your channels. Like I have watched around 10 hours of content the last three days alone. :0
Although it is great information, so thank you for providing the content
This is the kind of video i like, it shows the beginning and how things turn out, wish more of them were like this
Check out Hollis and Nancy homestead. He does videos just like this. Now I’m gonna go double check that’s the name of his channel.

That's some beautiful bean footage 😉
This is perfect!! I can only garden in containers at the moment (upstairs porch) but I sure do try!
It's not perfect. Dont add nitrogen to your beans...
His garden looks awesome
@@Doctoranthetardis , true, beans are nitrogen fixing, they pull nitro from the air, form a symbiotic relationship with a bateria in soil creating root nodules, which basically makes nitro for legumes.
Did you ever find a solution to the nutrient run off problem with the discoloration on each tier?
Check out our long beans growing on our tremendous trellis structure! Vertical all the way!
I'll tell you my experience with Greenstalk. I ordered the 1st one as a leaf 5 tier. I got the base on wheels. Absolutely no issues with it. Then with coupon I ordered the original 5 tier.

Everyone is selling this type of vertical tower, they are overpriced..
You should complain online on their customer reviews, so others will know they don’t keep their word with their so called warranty!
I’m new to your channel an I want to say I’m learning a lot. This is a great idea 💡 I would have never have thought of this. Thank you so much.
I'm glad you're enjoying, Teresa!
Have you ever heard of the garden tower 2? I would love to see you talk about that type of vertical garden
Im guessing you gathered exactly 33 beans
Wow I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve been looking for growing beans in the greenstalk! And I never knew you could start green beans and transplant 🤯 thank you for all the info!!
Thanks for the vid Kevin and Hi from Australia! You may have said this elsewhere but what are your fav types of Bush beans to grow and eat?
Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! :)
Does anyone know of a DIY version of this stack system?
I'm going to try using a bunch of my old pots and put five around on the bottom and then 4 on top of those and then 2 or 3 and then 1 on top. A circular pyramid.
I was thinking of drilling holes and putting a tube through them for stability
Amazon has some but doesnt look like the one shown.
Do I have to trade my cow for the seeds?
What are some other plants that would do well in a vertical tower? What can you mix and match? I just bought one, and want to maximize it's use. Thanks!

I wish you would put where you can buy the various products like the tower and the fertilizers. Thanks
Your beans are dark green because all the water has pooled towards the bottom, it's the lack of fresh oxygen in the soil that's turning the leaves dark green...
Do you have issues with mice or rats and the greenstalk vertical garden? The ones we have here eat everything... including some of my succulents. :(
Great video, thank you for sharing!
Putting those shears in that apron pocket is grounds for a trip and fall disaster!
I love that vertical planter. What other plants will grow in a vertical tower planter like that? I bet strawberries would be good to grow.
I would like to know if you ever hooked this planter into your irrigation system. If so, HOW
Dude I'm Italian I use a kitchen apron that's me that's what they were used 4 years ago in Italy you hold the ends up and you got the size of a trash bag to carry stuff in and comes with pockets owns the pockets just for the women out there
I really enjoyed the progression in the same video! 33 is a master number :)
Thanks for the bean info. I am trying beans in my garden this year. First time since my parents passed as they were epic gardeners.
One question. I can get fresh organic cow manure. Would that help my beans if I use it in a manure tea for my beans and other green leafy plants?
I typically would let that manure rot out a bit before using, and I would use it directly instead of a tea
@@epicgardening I can get 4 year old goat manure that I'm working into my garden. Not as high on nitrogen though.
So I I’m growing three beans per pocket. Do you think that’s a bad idea? It’s only on the bottom tier.
coolest apron ever brother. 250 beans is my wild guess.
Seen beans look wilted throughout and yellow above bottom row of the tower. Spider mites like the dry. Possibly why their attack was near the top. That tower may need a deterrent to the gravity of the water
The greenstalk is a bit pricey. I love the design though.
Yeah it doesn't break down though which to me justifies it!
Shame these aren't readily available in UK. At least I couldn't find them
Can I ask how many bean plants you planted per pocket?
Excellent work! Your results always impress me!
How many plants did you put in each pocket on the vertical garden? Just one plug?
I also started my bean plant on 4/8 with paper towel n zippy bag and after 3 days I got good roots...I’m excited
Nice - that's a good way to do it :)
Ok I'm learning not to use nitrogen on the beans because they have nitrogen nodes. The leaves could burn.
Are bean plants not capable of continuously producing beans? Do you have to replant a new plant each time?
Would it help if the containers were white? Thinking, the plants would get a reflection of white light.
Ive been trying to plant beans all spring and the gophers keep pulling them out. Trying a gutter method soon.
Question what size green stalk do you brown beans? Thanks
I am happy to transplant my beans because the bugs eat them before they get large. Thanks for the tip!
I just started getting into the bean world :) I'm growing 1 blue lake 1 yellow brittlewax 2 dragon tongues, 2 royal burgundy, 2 mung bean plants, all are bush type lol. Growing indoors in a grow tent as it's still too cold here in Nova Scotia. Just wondering if I need to alter their light cycle to trigger flowering or if they flower on their own? I have one plant per 2 gallonish pots, under a cheap 1000w led light in promix hp soil (going to run general hyo 3 part nutrient line). Thanks in advance!
They flower on their own! You're deep in the bean world!
Oh you've BEAN in the bean world!?
