On the ground, Green beans do not have very high requirements for climate and previous crops.
However, easily heated ones are best, medium soils with high humus- and sufficient lime content. Only wet ones are unsuitable, cold soils as well as extreme sandy soils. Beans are sensitive to frost, so that late frosts and early frosts set the time limit for cultivation. Something warmer, The French bean prefers locations that are sheltered from the wind and not too rainy. The foliage and especially the young pods can be damaged to a greater or lesser extent, if they are often exposed to strong winds. Bush beans also thrive in partially shaded areas, z.B. under tall trees or between distant berry bushes. However, one should not count on high and early yields in such locations. The French bean makes no special previous crop demands, but you shouldn't grow them again after beans or other legumes. On the other hand, the bean itself is considered a very good preceding crop for all other types of vegetables.
