Inoculate or not ?

For winter peas , what are some of the advantages and disadvantages of inoculation . And where can you get it .my local co op doesn’t carry any

Inoculate allows the peas to create and use it own nitrogen. There is no reason to plant without it and most peas should already have it on them. If your co op doesn't carry it you should find another co op.

All ive bought at different place had it already on it . Just ask

Pike coop doesn't carry it either. Sounded like for some reason they couldn't get it any more.

My Austrian winter peas have always done fine and I've never added anything to them. Not sure if they were pre-innoculated.

I/c cowpeas that I've bought for the last 25 years never were pre-inoculated and the co-ops around here stopped carrying the inoculant because no one ever asked for it and it would go bad. I asked them, why they didn't just sell it with the pea's and they said most people didn't want to fool with it.

Guys I don know ? My peas and clover I bought had it on it , red top all I buy though

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve always understood if a broadleaf crop had previously been planted in a field then inniculation was not necessary.
