Everybody’s results can be different with the same methods. When I was farming I got into peas because nitrogen was not needed and they were supposed to put nitrogen in the soil. I did exactly as I was told by a friend and also a agronomist. On my farm I never got the big yields to turn a profit with the peas. After growing peas I had soil samples done for four years in a row on the pea ground. The nitrogen never showed up. I was farming to try and make a living so it was back to the standard crops here.

They find that here too.
Lots of different reasons for it.
These guys that do a green plow down dont see any gains if they dont plant a crop immediately afterwards.
Turns out that the microbial explosion that takes place after the peas are turned under pretty much wipes out any N that was fixed.
The bugs eat the peas....the microbial numbers explode...and then they go after the N.
No trace of it by spring.....unless you store it in a turnip or something for the winter.
