It is in this central field that the strong musical accompaniment must be direct . The private seeds must be placed at 20 cm ( 8 in ) interval .
The poles or wager should be quite 2.6 m ( 8 foot ) long and should be link up by a strong horizontal structure firmly lash to the upright . The residual of the framework is merely a net or an arrangement of string . The weight of a course ofrunner beansin full maturation is considerable and they present a large open to be shaken by the twist . To forefend all this scaffolding it is quite possible to convert the works into shrubby people by a modus operandi of sneak out the growing shoots . However , when this plan is adopt the item-by-item seeds must be spaced at 60 centimetre ( 2 foot ) interval , with a aloofness of 1 m ( 3 foot ) between the rows .
