My husband used to have a white powder which we used when planting beans especially I do not know what it was called but when we were planting out the beans we sprinkled some of the powder in the hole and then it protected the bean roots and the young plant from all kinds of pests I have no idea what it was was but I think it was in a red pot. I think it could be used for any fruit or vegetables but I can't find anything like it currently does anybody have any ideas what it could be because last year my bean roots were blighted by pest I'm pretty sure it's not a fungus I'm pretty sure it's some crawling beetle any ideas?

I put out a few of my tougher seedlings yesterday as we've been having some good weather. But I'm not sure if there was wind or a bit of rain last night because when I woke up to check on them this happened(see pictures). Is there any way to fix them? The pictures don't really show how soft, flat and squishy the stems have gotten. It happened to my beans, some peas, pumpkins and cucumbers.
Although the weather may have knocked them over, it wasn't the cause of the initial problem.
Unfortunately, it looks like they haven't received enough lighting. This will result in elongated stems and, ultimately, this type of damage.
Some of them will recover, naturally. There isn't much you can do to help them once they stretch.
Another thing to consider is that all of these crops will need to be planted, directly, into the spot that they will grow. Transplanting is hard all these types of plants, and will result in stunted growth and production. This is not to say that it can't be done, as it can with great care. It is much more productive to start them outdoors, however.

Leaves on some of my hydroponic bean plants turning yellow/brown and veiny. Seems like small hairs on leaves Please help.
I have already answered this on the original, but I need to stress that you won't get a good identification of the problem when taken under purple LED.
Now the information that you have provided- It is is hydroponic set up. That helps me some. You likely have a nutrient deficiency, or a pH imbalance. The pH and EC should be tested and adjusted daily. If this is not adjusted and checked daily, there will ALWAYS be a set of symptoms to alert you that something is off.
Once you can be sure that the environment stays as stable as possible, then you can begin to diagnose other issues. Without knowing information, such as pH and EC, and if it stays in that range or fluctuates I can only assume that one of these two factors is off.

I planted two beans two months ago. They grew Ok but recently their leaves have gap and turned yellow and newly-grown leaves turn red. I kind of feel that the beans are lack of something. But I don’t know what to do. Can anyone please give me a guide? Thanks a lot.
It looks fine to me. That is just new growth. It is much too small of a container, and beans don't transplant well, so I wouldn't expect it to fruit, though it may flower. Eventually, it will outgrow the container, and die from being cramped, though.
I recommend starting them where they will remain. This will avoid much of the problems associated with beans in container. They require quite a bit of extra care in container as well.

Will they grow? Should I cut them off, dig them up?
Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I think that you are referring to the cotyledons. If this is the case, then this is normal behavior. Here is an article that will help:

I just found out about aspirin on tomato plants, I'm going to try it. But I always have an issue with rust on my bean vines, would it be wise to try aspirin on bean vines? I used sulfur on them last year but it still progressed. The rust started early this year and I've been taking the leaves off. Should I try one vine to see what will happen?
Sure! I use aspirin, myself, but it will not kill what is in the soil. You must also treat the soil.
I understand that shallots and beans are not compatible. But does that mean I should not plant beans where I pulled shallots? French Style, Wax and Italian green beans. Zone 6
No, you can plant after, or before. This will only apply to actively growing plants. They are not compatible at the root zone, meaning they compete, chemically. Planting after will be a good way to restore nitrogen to the soil, as well as break up some of that deeper soil.
