How to Use / How to Grow:
Direct sow buckwheat seeds after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Broadcast or plant in rows, keeping soil evenly moist until established. For cover cropping, cut or turn plants into the soil before seed set for maximum soil benefits. For grain, allow seeds to fully mature before harvesting and threshing.
