Why and when to collect bush beans?
Potatoes and leeks are piled up to protect the fruits from sunlight. But bush beans grow over the earth. So what is the purpose of piled up bush beans? Learn more about why bush beans are piled up and how to do it step by step.
Why should you pile up your bush beans?
Pile up is useful for beans for a number of reasons, as the plant can form lateral roots, which in turn have positive effects on plant growth:
In summary, this means that accumulation causes the bush beans to grow stronger and healthier, resulting in higher crop yields.
When are bush beans piled up?
Bush beans are accumulated when they have grown vigorously, that is, when they have reached a height of about 15cm to 25cm. Depending on the time of planting, this may be in April, June or even in July.
Even if you have missed the ideal date to pile up, you can pile up later. This gives the sensitive plants better grip anytime.

When piling up, be careful not to hurt your young bush beans.
Is accumulation absolutely necessary?
Even beans that are not piled up can carry plenty of beans and do not have to fall down on the first storm. Above all bush beans, which stand in a protected location, come clear without pile-up. For bush beans, which are exposed to a lot of wind, the accumulation is highly recommended. If your bush beans break off, that is a clear indication that a pile-up would have been necessary.
Tips
If you find that your bush beans are still lacking in stability, you can repeat the pile up later in the year.
