- Plant the Beans:
Plant 2-3 bean seeds around the base of each pole, about 1 inch deep. Space the seeds evenly for optimal growth.
- Water and Care:
Water the soil thoroughly after planting and keep it consistently moist. Place the buckets in a sunny spot where the beans can get 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
- Guide the Growth:
As the beans sprout, gently train the vines to climb the bamboo poles. Remove any weeds or competing plants in the buckets.
- Harvesting:
Pick beans regularly once they’re mature to encourage continuous production.
Additional Tips:
You can plant other shade-tolerant plants, like lettuce or herbs, inside the teepee for a mini garden. Use colorful buckets or decorate them to enhance the visual appeal of your teepee. For stability, consider anchoring the buckets to the ground or placing bricks inside the buckets. This simple project is not only functional for growing beans but also creates a fun, natural hideaway in your garden!
