Sweet Lorane

Vicia faba
Sweet Lorane is a hardy annual. This small-seeded broad bean is a popular nitrogen fixer. The large brittle plants work in easily with front end tillers, or can be cut and composted. Turn plants in before the seeds start forming, 2-3 weeks before you want to plant in that spot. Apply Garden inoculant to seeds before planting. Seed 5cm (2") deep, 5cm (2") apart, in rows 30cm (12") apart or broadcast and till in.
We suggest using 50-100kg/acre; 500g covers about 10sq m (100sq ft). (open pollinated seeds)

Growing Details

Cover cropping is a part of every well managed sustainable garden or farm.  Cover crops are useful in weed suppression, are important in building soil structure and add nutritents and organic matter to soils.  Many of the cover crops we sell not only perform all those useful functions within your growing space but also serve to support beneficial insect populations and provide a secondary harvest of grain, if you choose to allow the crops to go to seed.
