How deep should a runner bean trench be?

About a foot should do, line the bottom with multiple layers of wet newspaper to retain moisture

Perhaps I should just try half-the-row so I can see how it compares

My best version of the trench was using the contents of a dalek, well rotted: I just raked the heap level and planted the beans into that: the moisture retention was terrific and the yield very goodAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
