Is there any tangible benefit from planting some bush beans around (basically right at the base) my first-year Cascade hops? Instead of using chemical fertilizers, and since the hops look a bit nitrogen deficient (I'm not positive, though), is there any appreciable and real fertilization that happens in the presence of legumes, or is that just one of those I-keep-hearing-it-so-it-must-be-true ideas?
My tallest bine is about 7 feet at the moment and still climbing rapidly, about 1-2 inches per day. There's plenty of sun at the base, and the bush beans won't get high enough to block any sun obviously.
Thoughts?
