SOIL PREPARATION:  Broad beans are heavy feeds for the legume family.  Add plenty of compost and/or manure.  The optimum soil pH is between  6 - 7.

CULTURE:  Keep free of weeds.  Water regularly, especially when the plants start to flower, and beans start forming.  Some people find it worth while to plant 2 - 3 rows close together, as it helps protect the plants against heavy winds and rain, as well as creating a micro-climate with an increased humidity for the plants.  Staking the plants will improve the yield of the crop.  To stake, run a sting in front of and behind each row.
