Mitch runs as through the simplest way to to clear our runner beans!

Runner beans are great nitrogen fixers, so when clearing them it's best to leave their roots in the ground, so cut at the base of the stem and let the nitrogen nodules feed your soil as the roots biodegrade.

Clear from the top of the plant, cutting the greenery into small bits for your compost, you may also find some dry runner beans you've missed so harvest them for drying to feast on over winter.
