Pinto Beans

Pinto beans have several health benefits that include blood sugar control. They are also high in protein and fiber.

Here are a few tips on how to grow pinto beans.

PH level of the soil should be about 6.5. PH level of the soil is important because it directly influences the availability of nutrients to the plant. It also affects the activity of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.

Pinto beans have no cold tolerance. They do not like the cold.

Nutrients needed: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Manganese, Iron. They generally do not use that much nitrogen because they make their own. ONLY USE A 30-0-0 fertilizer IF THEY LOOK PALE!!!!!

Water once a week. They also like to get 6 hours full sun.

DO NOT PLANT NEXT TO: Onions, Garlic…… this will give off an antibacterial that will kill the bacteria on the roots and stop nitrogen needed to grow properly.
