No the nitrogen is fixed in the soil by the legume root nodules. You can eat the peas and feed the plant to cows are goats. The question is how many units of nitrogen is placed in soil. Afraid it is far below the requirement of modern 200 bushel per acre corn production but it does contribute. . How would the peas nitrogen fixation compare to soy beans which are rotated with corn and cotton all the time and for at least a hundred years.

Scott Anderson: My word… how arrogant are you? Please remember that not ALL of us are so highly intelligent… hence THE REASON WE READ ARTICLES LIKE THIS. Maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll become as smart as you. Hopefully, not as obnoxious, tho! Try to have a good day sir. Thank you, Lindsay Campbell for this article. – Some of us learned something good.

Why not grow corn hydroponically? Once you invest in the conduit, that won’t wash away and you’ll use less water and fertilizer. You could also use the open source technology “Farmbot” to pollinate. Look into it. You don’t have to keep dumping money on the ground and watching it wash into the river.

I’m not a professional agronomist. So this article was interesting to me. I have an eight by eight foot plot of Gods green earth and I sure don’t go around snapping at people cause I’m more educated than others. I know about companion planting but I don’t always know the why plants are good for each other.
