[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 3825874, member: 47276"] Thank you. I had seen them both in my searches. [I]V. lutea [/I]is generally listed as an annual. I am beginning to think that they are all perennials given the chance. It would be interesting (to me, if nobody else) if all posters took a look at any vetch they have and see whether they produce rhizomes. Our attitude as farmers would completely change if we knew they are perennial and not annuals. If it had not been for [USER=3680]@Little squeak[/USER] mentioning it in his post we might never have considered the possibility of using vetch as a perennial forage crop and N fixer. So thank you to him too. It has certainly got me thinking about using vetches on the trafficked ground between rows of fruit and nut trees. I had envisaged the need to plant annual N fixers - after I clean the land sufficient to not having to use as much knock-down sprays. [/QUOTE]
