Buckwheat is a very popular summer cover crop choice due to its rapid growth in warm conditions.
 
Buckwheat can bloom and produce seed in as little as 30 days, so it can be very attractive for pollinators.
 
Buckwheat is often used in a mixture with oats, brassicas and other species.
 
Seed 25 to 30 pounds for a pure stand, less in a mix!
