Has anyone used vetches?

Winter or Spring Varieties?

Springs presumably dont require herbicide termination but dont have the early spring N Fixation capacity..

I haven’t tried vetch. Might be concerned at the competitiveness of winter vetch. Would be interested to hear how it goes if you try it.

Some dap or np liquid
Does dap last a bit longer
