My understanding of Borlotti Beans (climbing, not dwarf) is that they prefer NOT a rich soil, or you get too much leaf, and not enough pod. But I'm willing to be advised otherwise and then stand corrected!
I grew them for the first time last year, and adored them SO much (fresh, and then dried throughout the winter) that I've recently sown 100 of them in modules, which germinated really well, and have planted out the first 28 to grow up 8ft canes this very afternoon..... YIPPEE!
If I can be of help in your growing of them, I'd be only too delighted... but I'm a relative novice myself, so only have limited knowledge peeps!
(PS. Prod me with a big stick via Private Message if I don't get back to this thread when you want me to, as I've got a lot on at the minute!)
