Never tried fava beanns,I have tried yellow clover with vetch and rye.Like I said the rye has a very thick root system and if you turn it under it is very hard on the back.Vetch gets very thick for me and I can kill it off by mowing it back.I don't know if my feed store near me has fava beans.My late mother was from Italy and she cooked fava beans up for supper sometimes.Very good side dish that I miss now that she's gone.
