I would look at the package and see how far apart they recommend you place them (6" or so...) and make sure you have a pot wide enough to accommodate that spacing.





Your depth should be at least 6-8", but won't hurt anything if it is more.





Also make sure you check to see if they are bush beans or pole beans. Pole beans will need something to climb on. An upside down tomato cage would work OK for this, or you can place your pot by a trellis of some sort.





I have done tomatoes in pots before and had very good luck. Good luck with the beans!
Reply:Blue Lake bush-type beans grow well in pots of the 10x10 size, minimum. The larger the better though, and must have ample water, and full sun for a minimum of 8 hours a day. Remember, any plant that is producing flowers and "fruit" needs moisture and lots of food, so be dilligent in that respect. Any organic fertilizer supplimented with good soil will produce beter results.
