Phaseolus vulgaris 'Domino BIO' – The perfect organic green bean for the garden and the table

Phaseolus vulgaris, better known as the green bean, has been an indispensable vegetable in vegetable gardens and kitchens for years. Among this popular variety, Domino BIO holds a special place. This organic bush bean is known for its fine, uniform pods, high yield, and strong disease resistance. It's an extremely reliable choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. In this article, you'll discover everything about growing, harvesting, and using Phaseolus vulgaris Domino – including cultivation information, benefits, and practical tips.

A fine, robust bush bean with a high yield

The Domino Organic green bean is distinguished by its high yield and vigorous growth. This robust bush bean reaches a height of approximately 50 cm and requires no stakes or climbing structures. This makes cultivation particularly accessible for gardens of all sizes – from large vegetable gardens to compact city gardens or raised beds.

The pods are approximately 12 cm long, evenly shaped, and less than 10 mm in diameter. The deep, dark green color is a sign of quality and flavor. Domino is fine-grained and stringless, meaning the pods remain tender and don't develop a hard string. This allows the bean to be eaten whole, minimizing waste.

Long-lasting harvest and excellent storage properties

A major advantage of this bush bean is its long harvest period, from June to September. The plant produces pods evenly, allowing for both staggered harvests and single harvests. This makes Domino ideal for gardeners who want to eat fresh beans regularly, but also for those who want to harvest large quantities at once for processing.

✔ Very suitable for freezing.
The firm texture and delicate flavor are perfectly preserved after blanching and freezing. This way, you can enjoy your own harvest even outside the season.

Strong against diseases – less worries, more yield

A healthy crop starts with strong genes, and that's precisely where Domino excels. The plant has natural resistance to grease spot, burn spot, and bean mosaic virus. These diseases can cause significant damage to beans, but Domino offers extra certainty and stability in growth. Fewer diseases mean fewer losses and more tasty beans to harvest.

Sowing and cultivation – simple and reliable

Growing this organic bush bean is simple and accessible. The seeds are sown directly in the ground from May to July. You can choose:

• Row cropping: 8–10 cm between seeds, 40 cm between rows

• Clump sowing: 4–5 seeds per spot at a distance of 40 x 30 cm

Because beans fix nitrogen with the help of soil organisms, fertilization is usually unnecessary. However, ensure the soil is airy and not too wet. Waterlogging and tilling overly wet soil can damage the roots. A light layer of earth later in the season encourages strong growth and a higher yield.

Tasty, healthy and versatile in the kitchen

Domino Organic is known for its soft, full flavor and delicate texture. The pods are ideal for boiling, steaming, or stir-frying, but also delicious in salads, stews, or as a side dish with potatoes and meat substitutes. Thanks to their tender texture, they're also a favorite with children and less experienced bean eaters.
