Wild Rocket and Broad Beans

We grew tomatoes in a wicking bed over summer so I've planted it with a winter crop of Wild Rocket and Broad Beans.  The latter add nitrogen to the soil whilst CSIRO experiments have shown that Wild Rocket fumigates soil that has been previously had tomatoes growing in it.  Wild Rocket is more efficient than Mustard which is sold by some outlets as a natural soil fumigant.
