Over the years some of you have grown companion / (scaffolding) crops with combinable peas to to help prevent the pea vines going flat before they are fit to harvest. I know this thread title has been discussed in the past but it would be really interesting to read the experiences of those of you who have tried various companion crops in recent years to keep peas standing. I am sure we can all learn from your success or failure companion crops. The separating out of the companion crops seed from the peas once in store must be quite a problem . The drying of wet peas that are mixed with other grains must be also another problem that has to be dealt with.
But as flat peas are such a nightmare to harvest ,any thing that can help the harvesting of peas is worth looking at in these times of change when a diverse rotation is becoming more essential to help reduce blackgrass etc.
