Dave - Have you found an affordable source for fava as a cover crop? 
What about mache? thanks, -Allan

PS In one of the lecture tapes, Alan Chadwick says that successive 
cover crops of fava (winter after winter) will remove fungal problems 
from the soil. Anyone had experience with this? He attributes this to 
the legume action (nodules) and considers the fava to be one of the 
most effective of the legumes
