I tried a couple of 1ha patches of trefoil and white clover mix before beans, but I didn't manage to get it established. By the time straw was cleared and I got the drill to the field, it was really too late.

Those seeds that did germinate, didn't seem to survive either the time drill and certainly not the winter.

wonder if you could undersow in the spring via broadcasting on the prior crop
