I am about done with my first planting of beans and would like to start another of a different variety. I have heard you're not supposed to plant them in the same place as you did the last year, but what about right after the last? The reason I ask is because they are in a large pot and did very well, I haven't the room in my garden to plant them and would like to use the same pot. My pumpkins, watermelon and squash are taking over my garden area. What I would do is rip out these plants and push in new bean seeds. Is this okay? I don't want to waste the seeds, they are those Italian beans that are flat and we just love those! I would like to get in a planting and harvest before frost hits and we still have a good deal left in our planting season. Thoughts? Ideas?

Beans are subject to diseases that may carry over in the soil to reinfect the following bean crop.
However ,if you use new soil, you could do it!

HOWEVER...
IF...and Only IF, you're beans were disease free, you can use the same spot!
Old timers. myself included, would take soil from the bean area from the previous year to innoculate their bean seed, way before you could purchase bean/pea innoculant.
Worked then, and it works now.

I'm pretty sure they were disease-free. The only thing that ever looked wrong with them was where the Junebugs ate at the leaves. Other than that, I have/had a healthy bean crop in that pot! I'll give it a whirl today and we'll see how it goes! Thanks, guys!
