I have grown field peas or black eyed peas all of my life and I have never seen them inoculated I don't know that affects thier ability to set nitrogen. I have seen Lupine planted as a cover crop and it was innoculated similar to clover. We bought the innoculant with the Lupine. If you want to plant clover as a winter cover crop plant crimson clover it will die back when the weather gets warm. you can mow it before it sets seed and it won't come back next year. White clover is a perenial and it is harder to get rid of.
