Q: The 2 basic green bean varieties are bush beans and pole beans. The bushes of bush beans spread out along the ground, and only grow to about 1–2 feet (0.30–0.61 m) high. While bush beans only tend to produce a single harvest during a growing season, they are relatively easy to grow and don't require much tending.  Bush beans spread out horizontally while pole beans need to climb vertically. Bush beans do not need any sort of support in the garden, while pole beans require a trellis to climb. Recommended bush varieties for most regions include Bush Blue Lake and Bountiful. Pole beans mature more quickly than bush beans do, which means that you'll be able to harvest pole beans sooner. They also grow beans continually during the growing season, so you'll get a larger number of beans from each individual plant than you would with bush beans.  Recommended pole varieties for most regions include Fortex and Kentucky Wonder. Install a trellis for your pole beans to climb, such as a cattle panel, wooden lattice, or similar garden trellis. Green beans need plenty of sunlight to grow properly, so try to choose an area of your garden that receives full sun for your planting site. Since green beans do not do well in heavily-moist soil, you should avoid shaded locations, since shade tends to help soil retain moisture for prolonged periods. Green beans thrive in loamy soil, so if your garden has heavy clay soil or sandy soil, you should amend it with organic material before planting your green beans. Loamy soil is dark and crumbly. Test the soil by squeezing it in your hands. Clay soil stays in a ball and sandy soil falls apart completely. Loamy soil will hold its shape initially yet break apart when touched.  If working with clay-heavy soil, spread 2 inches (5.1 cm) of manure or compost over the soil and work it into the top 1 foot (30 cm) of soil using a shovel, garden fork, or rototiller. You could also mix sawdust or sand into the soil if it is especially heavy. If working with sandy soil, spread the same amount of heavy manure or compost into the soil in the same manner, but skip the sawdust. No matter what type of soil you have, you should also make sure that the area is free of weeds, trash, stones, and other debris. Green beans do not require a vast amount of nutrients, but a light application of fertilizer can help your plants produce a better crop. Use a shovel or trowel to mix the fertilizer into the top 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) of soil. 10-20-10 fertilizer is slightly richer in phosphorus than in nitrogen or potassium, so it is good for producing a strong crop yield. If you use a fertilizer high in nitrogen, then your plant will grow a lot of leaves but few beans. If you'd rather plant beans in a container or if you want to try growing beans indoors, you'll need to plant them in a reasonably large pot. Ideally, the container should be about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. Fill the pot with loose, nutrient-rich soil.  If you're planting pole beans in a container, stick a trellis or lattice in the container as well, to allow the bean plants to grow. Since potted plants often dry out faster, you should check your soil moisture more often. You may need to water your green beans more if they're potted.
A: Plant bush beans for a reliable, easy harvest. Plant pole beans for a quicker, larger harvest. Pick a sunny spot to plant your crop. Amend the soil with compost until it has a loamy texture. Apply a 10-20-10 fertilizer to the soil before planting the seeds. Grow them in a container if you'd rather not sow them in the ground.

Article: The first step is knowing the type of outcome you would like from a project.   Having a vision will help you ask the right questions about a consultant’s services.  Identify the type of project you are doing and list the steps that you will need to accomplish the project. Determine the type of help you think you need.  Are your needs technical, design-related, or both?  Will you need one person or a team to work on your project?  Can the work be done remotely or do you need to find someone locally with whom you can meet in person? Ask yourself what kind of developers or specialists you need to hire to accomplish your project. Having an initial vision does not mean that the project has to (or will) turn out exactly like you have envisioned it. Your company’s big-picture goals and mission may be as important as the details of the project itself.  Re-read your company’s mission statement, even if you wrote it yourself. Be explicit about how the project will serve the company’s mission. Change your vision for the project if it does not keep with the company’s overall goals. Identify how the project will improve your company, meet the needs of stockholders or shareholders, or serve your clients. Write a statement about how this project will meet the company’s goals.  You may need to include the statement in your RFP, but it will also help you focus your own goals for the project. You need to have a concrete number for the amount of money you will be able to spend on the project. Being upfront with your allowed budget will help your relationship with the consultant you hire in the long run.  Talk to your accounting or finance department ahead of time.  Don’t just assume you know how much money you will be able to spend on a project. Be sure you are including all parts of the project and all individuals you will need to hire to help you meet the needs of your project. Plan for extra expenses.  Projects—particularly big projects—rarely come in under budget.  Leaving yourself some extra room for unexpected expenses from the beginning will help keep you in the black. Offer a competitive rate.  Remember that paying less often leads to poorer quality.  At the same time, overpaying may not get you a significantly better project than simply paying the “going rate.” You will need to put together a detailed timeline with deadlines for both the proposal and the project itself.   You may want to break the project into steps or stages and assign a different deadline for each step.  Make a reverse calendar.  Start with the final deadline for the finished project and work backwards, determining individual deadlines as you go. Assign a deadline for the proposal that is 2-6 weeks after you send out your RFP, depending on the level of detail and customization you need.  Assign yourself a deadline for writing the RFP as well.
