Subject: [NAFEX] space for pole beans

I plant my pole beans under a seven foot fence because that is as high
as I can reach. Trouble is, they become so over-crowded on top that they
stop producing (at the top). Judging from the length of the stems in the
over-crowded area, a ten foot high trellis would be better. Rather than get
on a ladder to pick the pods, I'm considering making the trellis at a slant
or long arc. My existing fence is composed of two 3'6" high fence sections
so my next task will be to add another section and try to figure out how to
erect them into an arc.
