Great idea!  6 bean seeds, and I could charge, what?? $2.50 ???
Wow, why didn't I think of that?
Like you say, beans grow in air practically...
OR, I can get my friends and neighbors to start saving things like 
yogurt cups and sell individual bean plants. Market it as educational 
for kids and of course, food in this tough economy.  All they would have 
to do it stick it in the dirt!  I'd bet I could get $1 per plant!
We should try it!
