sallyg said: I did some vetch once, that was cool. As I recall, it died naturally with frost and so mulched the area nicely against winter weeds (henbit, lamium, chickweed) But check me about that, I don't take notes. Easy to chop up too.
I tried winter wheat and if I didn't chop it soon enough, it got pretty tough to cut or dig.
