How to grow

For an early crop, start inside from February to April in pots or seedling modules. Sow 1 seed per pot. Transplant seedlings to their final place in April. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors in drills, leaving a spacing of 15cm between seeds. Broadbean Ratio is a fast growing, early cropper. It is also a low growing crop thanks to its bunching habit.
