Even moisture, especially at flowering; drought at flowering = empty pods.

Full sun.

Beans fix their own nitrogen — skip fertiliser, just compost at sowing.

Pick pods pencil-thick every other day; stop picking and the plant stops producing.

◆Bush types need no support and finish fast; pole types yield triple on a trellis over a longer season.
