Vasili I have been following you closely and have gone broad beans for the first time this year, I too have pinch the tops of mine and I would say within a week I have the beans growing on mine too. I love watching your videos and things have just exposed in my garden putting eco gold and eco boost and the black grit is fantastic. Thanks again Debbie love it
Thank you! Many videos talk about how to grow broadbeans but not explain why Our broadbeans have lots of flowers but not forming beans. We will cut the tops off tomorrow & see what happens 💐
Mine are aphid magnets!! I have to spray them off every day even with the oil/detergent/ chilli/tumeric spray. They are relentless & the only thing they attack ( which is a blessing)
Love growing broad beans but those bloody aphids!! I made a spray with dishwashing liquid & oil & wash them off every day but they just keep on keeping on!! I don't want to use chemicals. Any advice?
When should you prone the tips? how mature or tall the plant must be? Should it be done before or after flowering?
I did this after your first video and I had the same results, huge difference between tipped and not. Thank you!

Hi a big thanks for your help as this is the first year of growing broad beans.
Those tops can be used as a green too just like silverbeet or spinache
Thank you!

Try chilli water to spray them
