legume inoculation on larger scale

Hi Everyone.


Been a LONG time since I've been here. Small farm in Walla Walla WA, selling at local farmers markets. I have an Earthway Seeder, that I use in my 100 ft rows to plant. Works great for certain things. But I'm wondering how everyone does legume inoculation without having to plant by hand. The standard procedure is to get the seed wet, then toss in inoculant before planting. But you really can't do that when using a seeder, as the inoculant comes off and coats everything and makes planting hard. I'm getting more into green manure cover crops and would like to do more inoculation.


I've read that inoculant lasts in the soil for several years, so I'm considering just buying a large bag and broadcasting it over the entire garden. What's your method?
