The winter-hardy vetch — the most cold-tolerant legume in the lineup and the heaviest nitrogen producer in a cover crop mix.
SIZEHairy vetch is a hardy type of vetch suited to wetter soil and colder winters than other winter-active legumes. Hairy vetch develops best under cool temperature conditions on fertile loam soils; it is also productive on sandy or clay soils. It has been reported to grow well on light soils that are too sandy for crimson clover. It is only moderately sensitive to soil acidity.
