I'm a simple homegrower and I've been using legumes for nitrogen fixation for some time, which has saved me the hassle and money of applying ammonia fertilizer.
Now, I've recently become aware that clovers are too, legumes, and they too, form nitrogen nodules for nitrogen fixation and I came with the idea of:
1. Growing it on bags that allow me easy access to root systems.
2. Prune some of the roots.
3. Throw these nitrogen rich roots into compost, to enrich it (which can help a lot in places where food scraps are scarce).
You think this is a good idea? Is it worthwhile?
