3-4' tall peas grown alone or in mixes as short-term green manure.
Pea tendrils (the most recent 6-8" of growth) are also great in salad mixes, and the dry yellow peas can be cooked in soup. In spring sow 5 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (200 lb./acre) alone, or 3 lb./1,000 sq.ft. (120 lb./acre) mixed with vetch and/or oats, winter rye, or ryegrass. Peas smother weeds better than spring-sown clover. Inoculate for best performance. Organically grown. Avg. 2,000 seeds/lb.

Notes:
Growing Information: Peas like well-drained, clay loam soils with a neutral pH (6.5-7.5) and average fertility. Stems are weak so will benefit from being seeded with 1½-2 bushels of oats per acre. Can be seeded into rough ground; use 25% more seed than usual. Plant like garden peas: inoculate with proper inoculant and drill, or broadcast and cover 1-3" deep depending on soil moisture. Plants do not re-grow after mowing or grazing. Field peas average nitrogen production is 100 lb./acre.
