Green Manure Buckwheat

  • Catalogue Code 1020-2992

Buckwheat is a fast growing short-term summer green manure. Grows extremely fast, forming a dense canopy of foliage that smothers weeds and produces large amounts of organic matter. A good source of calcium, its long roots extract nutrients from deep in the soil. When left to flower it attracts hoverflies whose larvae feed on aphids. Sow May-August.
