Beans planted with Carrots & Cauliflower are mutually beneficial.
Marigolds planted with beans helps to repel the Mexican bean beetle. They are pretty & perky too.
Pole Beans are great neighbors to corn. The vines anchor the corn. Really good here in windy Lubbock.
Grow Pole Beans on an "inverted-V" Trellis and plant radishes underneath. The radishes will appreciate the shade.
INHIBITED BY all members of the Onion Family
Compost the spent plants or turn under to enrich the soil.
Summer Savory improves their growth & also deters bean beetles.
Tansy is a good neighbor to beans, cucurbits (cucumbers, squash, etc), corn, roses. It wards of flying pests. Plant in pots - it is invasive & ugly.
Sage deters cabbage flies, repels many bean parasites
