This nitrogen fixer is a lanky and sprawling but versatile legume that is fairly tolerant of acid soils. Apply garden inoculant to seeds before planting. It can be mown in spring to supply good mulch and is shade tolerant. NOTE: Vetch seeds are toxic to chickens, so plant out of the way of foraging flocks or cut the vetch while it is just flowering.
