This differs from common vetch in that it has better cold tolerance maintaining ground cover through the winter and is more tolerant of wetter soils. It can fix around 220 kilos per ha of atmospheric nitrogen and has the capability to smother weed species due to its sprawling and creeping growth habbit. Although vetch is readily grazed, hairy vetch may induce irritation of the mouth.
