Default Spinach as green manure???

Does anyone have any experience or advice on using spinach as green
manure? I always have plenty of spinach seed that I could sprinkle
around after the fall harvest.


Thanks!

Spinach will not add a lot of nitrogen to your soil. You might be better
off growing Phacelia or trefoil or some other clover-type thing to add
nitrogen as a green manure if you want a plot of land to lie fallow for a
season. Phacelia looks nice, too.
