<< Allen-I have never been able to grow favas here , maybe they needed a special innocculant.I tried several times with seed from Bountiful, as well as another place I can't remember. , perhaps fedco.

I'm not used to that in our garden I thought it was because it wants an alkaline soil. anyone grow it here in the east? >> We grow several acres of Fava beans, they are a favorite of mine with potato in a stew. Dare I say we don't use innoculant, just the preps, so I guess we must have pre-existing -non-conforming soils. May be you should inoculate once or twice and amp up the use of bc/500 and see what happens...sstorch
