Hi all,
Enjoying the thread….
I have used vetch last two winters after squash/courgettes are out. I follow these with brassicas, so the vetch can have all the spring to thrive – it grows very fast in the heat of April/early May. Cut at the base it doesn’t come back and then I leave on the soil for a few weeks and then clear the dried stems before planting out my brassicas. Seems to work well as it fills a hole with a nitrogen fixer, and I don’t need any extra ground.
Thanks
