I'd be inclined to move it. Peas provide the soil with nitrogen and therefore do not need it.

If you read Dr. Hessayon, he says that a heavy nitrogen dressing does more harm than good. Humus & lime, if the soil is acid is the way to go.

speaking of peas I just order 10 kg. Wonder if it'll be enough

Do you know just how many that is?

Doubt I get through much more than 1.5 kg.
