[QUOTE="Munkul, post: 7624098, member: 73308"] 1st year: got contractor to put them in with a disc drill quite deep. Came through lovely. 2nd year: got a "free" winter crop from the beans that the wholecrop header missed, we ploughed them in and had trouble re-seeding with grass, so they came through ok and survived the winter, and we got a good few tons off with the combine. Really just an accident. 3rd year this spring: combi-drilled 15 acres in after ploughing, probably only 2-3" deep, nothing special. Came through lovely, way better than the barley drilled at same time. It was dry this spring too. We used the combined beans we got from the 2nd year as seed. At flowering stage now and looking really strong. Conclusion: chuck beans at a field, cover them in some dirt, and they'll grow! [/QUOTE]
