Description
Green Manure crops are not included in $5.75 shipping special.
A great quick summer crop — fast-growing plants choke out weeds, bees love the white flowers that appear in 4-5 weeks, and the tender stems are easy to cut down when the crop’s done. Young leaves may be added to salads. The deep root system of buckwheat is good at mining subsurface minerals. 500 grams to 500 sq ft.
Planting Instructions
