Planting / Sowing
Sow seed directly into well drained soil in full sun. Sow seed 5 to 7 cm deep and space plants 20 to 25 cm apart, with rows 60 to 75 cm apart. Broad beans prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil and moderate fertility. Avoid excessive manure, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of pod production. In warmer areas, pinching out the growing tips after flowering begins can help improve pod set.

Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
