Last year I had great success with runner beans grown in large tubs.
This year I was thinking of using horse manure 6 months old in the base of
the containers with garden compost filling up the remaining 2 thirds.
Any thoughts?

Runner Beans will do best on ground which has had a liberal helping of
moisture retaining compost or well rotted manure.

Not in my experience - we have a very sandy soil.

The previous poster did say 'will do best on ground which has had a liberal
helping of moisture retaining compost or well rotted manure', or did you
miss that bit?

I was planning to do this. Maybe you could tell me
what size of pot?
how many plants per pot?
and is feeding necessary?
in your opinion.
