[Market-farming] black eye peas

The peas will grow just fine without the inoculum; however, the nitrogen 
nodules on the roots, formed by certain soil bacteria and the plant, will be 
of poor quality.  In your case, having grown peas for years, there's a good 
chance the bacteria are now in the soil and the inoculum is not necessary.

In my case, I'm planting the peas to improve the soil, and the soil doesn't 
have the bacteria.

Thanks
