So eat some beans with every meal!Doesn’t the whole plant need to be re-tilled into the soil to actually fix nitrogen?
Typically getting the fruit (beans) drains the soil, so for cover cropping you till all of it in before then.
So plant clover in between bean seasons.
Oh wow, you are (generally) right. Of course, it depends on beans and conditions, but some farmers even add nitrogen fertilizers to the beans :O
The entire plant contains nitrogen, so you can take the beans and till the rest back in and it should still be net positive, I think. I’m not a botanist.
