I am a very big fan of beans and thought I’d try some giant butterbeans this year. I am really struggling with getting them to germinate instead of simply rotting in their pots.

I have planted them in cardboard pots on a windowsill, uses a small water spray nstead of watering with a bottle, used professional grade organic seeding compost (fertile fibre) but still have had 69% failure rate on germination. Had a little check on a couple to see if they were just slow, and can see that the seeds have rotted.

Any tips for Butterbean success?
