I use a 5 gallon bucket and use poles or bamboo rods and put string up around the poles .Our local garden guy says to go ahead and plant btwn august and September for fall beans he is on tv locally here in Columbia . The reason I use the 5 gallon bucket is because if a frost comes along way earlier than expected I will set up a warm room for my plants and add a flood light on an old upright lamp post it works out very well . and btw when I lived in an apt I grew tomatoes inside and hung a shop light from the ceiling and it worked out perfectly . you can grow anything in a 5 gallon bucket LOL .
