Researching best practice for BB.

Well after no one respond to my call for help on the Broad Bean (BB) issue of staking...
I checked out the web.
There are many ways to stake a BB it seems:

• don't stake
• put stakes in either ends of the row and run string around the perimeter
• put stakes in the rows at regular intervals (120cm) and run string around
• put stakes in the patch of BB to create a zig zag effect
• stake each individual BB plant http://www.gardenersclick.com/questions/view/staking_broad_beans
• use a triangle on a few plants

I have found out the string needs to be strong as the BB can become weighty. Also that when black fly is visible on the top its best to pinch the tops to stop the growth of the plant and promote Bean growth.

I also learnt that staggering your crop plantings will ensure you have BB for longer in the season - der on that one!
Bottom line is... it will depend on how I feel like doing it tomorrow - stay tuned for further BB updates.
