Growing bush beans needs full sun location; soil pH of 6.5-7.5 is preferred; and it should be well drained soil. Make sure the area is well ventilated. Compost is suitable especially during planting.
Harvest bush beans that are firm, crisp, and smooth. Constantly pick the bush beans and keep it in that way. Maturation of the bean in the pod is an indicator of over-maturity. It is also necessary to dry and then shell the bush beans. Bush beans are ready for harvest if the pods are totally dry and brittle. You can cut or pull the pods from the bush bean plants and then shell it. Use an airtight container for storage, and keep in cool and dry location.
