Naysen, get some combination bean/pea innoculant for those Tainers if you are going to experiment with Fava. Fava does best in a slightly acidic PH, 6.5-7.0 would be OK. From what I've read, Fava roots exude a load of low PH organic acids around the rhizosphere, so its important the the PH of the soil not be too acidic to begin with.
I've never grown Fava myself in containers, only in the ground, it sounds like an interesting experiment.
