Also known as pastry wheat. Legume cover crops are an essential component of good soil management. Green manures can be grown in the same year as a vegetable crop, such as a cover crop of white clover planted around a cole crop.

Plant late September to early October. In addition to this benefit, legume green manures (peas, beans, clovers, favas and vetch) act as a host for the bacteria that fix and make nitrogen available for your vegetable or fruit crops.

Mid and late summer sowings may be left to winter over and the vetch allowed to regrow some in the spring.http://www.johnnyseeds.com/farm-seed/cover-crop-mixes/spring-green-manure/spring-green-manure-mix-organic-cover-crop-seed-976G.32.htmlThis item's...
