I know this may seem dumb, but i guess i'll ask anyway, because i'm never
going to find out if i don't

my understanding was that legumes, all the beans and peas and their buddies
in the clover world etc fixed nitrogen, and did a good job of it on their
own, so why does everyone recommend adding innoculants? just to max out
their 'fixing' ability? it almost seems to me that you would add innoculant
to something that didn't fix, but maybe i am missing what exactly the
innoculants do

appreciate clarifications and apologize for the ignorance
