I have been growing phacelia for bees around my fruit bushes, which I remove and compost when the fruit starts to form. Appears to work well in that getting excellent crops due to high levels of pollination, as well as good soil fertility and I have some additional material to compost – so wins all round, although I would hesitate to sow phacelia in an area that I wanted to crop later as I never re-sow after the initial sowing – it just self sets.
