Iron/Clay peas

What can I plant with them that will give them a little cover until they can get going. I have some millet and thought about mixing it about 50/50 with the ICP`s. Thoughts?

The millet may be an ok option, it will give the peas something to climb on. I would mix it about 70 ICP's / 30 millet, though.

Not sure where you are getting your IC peas from, but just noticed hancock has them for 39 bucks for 50 lb, inoculate extra.

I am trying to convince myself to open up another spot, and toss them in with sunflowers, a bag of feed corn, and the ic peas.

Just a note to those who are planting cowpeas this spring, I have recently read some research trials that show the Red Ripper variety is more drought tolerant and do better on sandy soils than Iron and Clay.
