Message: [QUOTE="headfullofbees, post: 68711, member: 408"] I tried a bit of an experiment this year, which I'm going to use again next year, and which may interest Sheal. What I did was plant my runner beans in the same cross-over fashion as Zigs, in a double row East to West, then put out the tomato plants six feet to the North of the closer row of beans. I live in a windy area, near Manchester airport, with Southerly and South-westerly being the prevalent winds. The purpose of planting like this, was to protect my tomatoes from the wind, yet have them still get all the summer sun. Seemed to work well. Any climbing plant would do, but I was running out of people to give beans to. [/QUOTE]
