Alan,

It is used all over the world. That is the most popular green manure crop used, I guess. I have some seed but I do not know the variety. Seed companies here have them. I think www.groworganic.com has them.

Does anyone here know of a source for velvet bean seed. I have some,
not sure of the variety and would like to try different varieties. From

I hope they arent' all gone.........
