As day two of the blog approached, I was really excited to plant the beans. They sprouted dramatically and as the directions stated I planted them in heavy soil outside with lots of sun: eHow: How To Grow Black Beans. I was worried that my choice for this project was a little dull, but while researching the benefits of eating black beans I found this website: 6 Health Benefits of Black Beans. I was shocked! Surprisingly, consuming black beans prevents cancer and promotes a healthy heart. Who knew such a small substance could do so much? After actually planting the seeds and mildly watering them, I realized I was missing something; a key component to growing plants successfully. Earth worms! Worms are essential when growing any kind of plant, so I dug up half a dozen from my garden and snuggled then comfortably in the soil with my beans. Earth worms keep the soil loose, allowing the roots to grow strong, they also provide a natural fertilizer to keep the plants nourished. All these factors are proven to assist in growing some healthy black beans.
