Quick Overview

• Annual
• Good for breaking up soil!
• Planting rate: 1 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft.

Details

Especially valuable for its release of phosphorus, buckwheat also contributes a significant amount of organic matter. Very competitive with weeds, good for breaking up the soil. Can grow two crops in the north.

Bees love Buckwheat!  Good bugs love buckwheat!
Seed when ground is well warmed and after last spring frost; it has no frost tolerance. When June planted, in 35 days it is waist high, in bloom and ready to plow under. Good to follow with a fall crops of rye and Austrian winter pea. Just rake in some seed after harvesting an annual crop and buckwheat will keep out the weeds and look great doing it. Green Lacewing adults will feast on the nectar then deposit their "aphid lion" eggs on nearby garden crops.

Too early
I've only had the seeds a few weeks and we're not even past our last frost date yet. It's too early to be asking for a review.

Not Planted Yet
I have not had time to plant yet so can't offer an opinion so I just put 3 stars for no opinion.

fast
I ordered from a few vendors on the same day and SeedsNow came in sooner than some others. The quantities of carrot seed was a little disappointing.
