Natural nitrogen nodules on legume roots in the Fadaceae family. Bacteria on their roots fixes the nitrogen in the air into root-bound, tiny, natural fertilizer nodules, providing one third of the needed NPK for good plant health. Many farmers plant fava beans and/or red clover as a winter cover crop. Typically, the entire plant is plowed back into the fields or added to compost bins.
