Like SC, I've grown them over a sloping grid. supported on the sunny side with posts, (?Munty frame) which frees up space for planting below.
Years ago, I saw squash being grown along the top of a hedge -planted at ground level, obviously, and encouraged to climb to the top of the hedge - then left to wander along the top. He also had them climbing over arches.
Firstly what's BNS? Beans not Squash? Bright New Shoes?
Secondly, I tried tromba vertically on a mish mash of bamboo canes, tromba was happy enough until the frame collapsed.
Thirdly, spookily, I was looking up planting distances for Scarlet's mystery beans and getting nowhere and sidetracked, saw Munty frames mentioned. Never heard of them I was going to start a bean support thread. Might still do so.
Of course! I should've known. But shouldn't that be BS, as in Butternut Squash? There's an awful lot of BS spouted in the gardening world though, and you wouldn't want to confuse anyone.
