Beans
Beans need a greater amount of potash and phosphorus than nitrogen. A recommended fertilizer formula is 5-10-10 or an equivalent ratio. For your home garden, you may also use compost to provide nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as secondary and trace elements. Composting is a good way to improve the physical properties
of garden soil (drainage, aeration, ability to retain nutrients and water).
