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.

Im honestly not sure we get hard enough freezes to kill off Vetch here. Im in South Texas, some years it does get below freezing, but many years it hovers in that 32 range...
