Not necessarily. I’m a restoration ecologist and I have never found a native legume that was not nodulated and apparently fixing Nitrogen. I have also found all exotic naturalized legumes that I’be examined to also fix N. A good indication that N is being fixed is if 1) the roots have nodules and 2) the nodules have are red or pinkish when cut open. I suggest planting with and without inoculant. Keep some physical separation between the plantings. After the plants are established, carefully dig some up and gently wash the soil off the roots. Look for nodules and if they are present, cut them open. If the plants are nodulating without inoculant, then save you money next time and pass on the inoculant.

[...] Squirrel Garden Method. The opposite of the Tiny Garden Method and may require a large area. If like a squirrel with its acorns, you want to stow away vegetables for the winter, then think about setting aside garden space for storage vegetables like potatoes, onions and garlic.
