Buckwheat seems to get the nod nowadays....and I"m going to sow some on a piece of poor ground I have.
That being said.....I never had any trouble getting rid of hairy vetch and have used it in the past....it blooms the prettiest purple flowers you ever saw.

It took a while to make the ground sick and it"ll be a while before gets well.
