They make a ton of organic matter. They grow quickly. Easy to grow in the heat of summer. Yard long beans and cowpeas add nitrogen. They're some of the few things that you can plant in AZ at that time of year,too.
Amaranth,corn and okra would need to be shredded with a shredder as the stalks get huge,unless you get some small amaranth or chop everything early. Hyacinth beans (lab lab) would be another hot weather option.
The amaranth also provides greens and the other plants provide food,too.
