Rob - I know you are a seed seller and not a grower, but I know you 
guys do do a lot of grow outs, etc, AND you've been working with more 
growers over the years in organics than most anyone (huh?) so, I will 
continue:

From your experience, does a grower need to be applying foliars 
regularly to the pole beans to maximize blossoms and fruit?

AND - What do you think is 'enough' fertility for a row of pole 
beans? (You know, like 3 bushels of compost per 100 row feet, or 
something)

Thanks
