green manure crop or 2nd crop beans if lucky?

Posted by buickanddeere on June 25, 2005 at 13:35:07 from (192.75.48.150):

What are the crops when planted mid summer and ploughed down, work as green manure.Crops that really do add fertility and organic matter to the soil instead of just mining nutrients out?
I had thought of chancing soybeans in early to mid July when the wheat comes off. Hasn't been a significant frost before mid September around here for several years. Might even get real lucky and get a crop off?
If the beans are a bust, just plough them under for a nitrogen gain?
