[QUOTE="Salopian_Will, post: 7653309, member: 80"] We have dabbled with cover crops previously, albeit on a limited basis and with no fixed conclusions. As part of our SFI scheme we are looking to put cover crops in ahead of spring beans. We are on heavy soils but they are regularly (annually) mucked and so the two main aims are to keep hold of nitrogen/nutrients ahead of the beans and to improve soil structure. It seems to come back to either black or spring oats. Are there issues with beans following vetches? I want to avoid brassicas due to club root concerns. Is there anything else I ought to have in there? [/QUOTE]
