#1 Viciavillosa, will it attract more flies (manure) or bees (honey).

#3 Ya know what they're bragging about here? The use of a bean plant as a nitrogen-fixer. The give-away is the fact that the plant "belongs to the pulse family".

American farmers have been doing this for at least fifty years, probably longer: Rotate a field between soybeans, corn, and (in my area) tobacco, and the soybeans replenish the soil-bound nitrogen needed by the other crops.

#4 Not only was this done in America for the past fifty years, but worldwide since the Neolithic era. Take a field, rotate it between main crop, legume, and nothing (field fallow, used for grazing, produces manure). In the 17th century, they started using clover instead of legumes, I believe.

"Green Manure" refers to that rotation. It's been known to replenish the soil for at least 3000 years.
