Very Vetchey

In our cover crop, there's one wildflower, Common Vetch I believe, that does REALLY well. It started out towards the top rows, and has spread down to row 5 or so. It looks great, but is growing like mad - and I was worried it may be too vigorous to be an appropriate cover crop.

Vetch is apparently very good at fueling the soil with nitrogen. Whew! Several vineyards I've read about (including Tablas Creek) let it grow, mowing as needed, and even turning it under the soil after flowering.

So I'll let it bloom, then thin, turn under, compost, or more likely a combination of all of the above.
