Common Buckwheat Organic Seeds

Organic Common Buckwheat: Non-GMO Cover Crop Seeds

• Warm-season crop for building soil and smothering weeds
• Helps loosen heavy, clay soil and adds phosphorus
• Fast-growing annual for spring and summer

Cover crops are sown for a variety of reasons. They can improve soil health by adding organic matter and nutrients, smother weeds, break up compacted soil, prevent erosion, and attract beneficial insects. Buckwheat is ideal for sowing anytime soil is bare during the growing season; for example, after you’ve harvested your first crops. It can be sown in spring in beds you won’t be planting, or in beds intended for fall crops. Direct sow after danger of frost is past. Planting several successions in a season can be effective for eradicating persistent annual weeds which are out-competed by buckwheat’s quick growth. Resistant to late blight. Seeding rate: 2-3 lbs./1000 square feet.
