Buckwheat cover crop improves soil health and smothers common weeds, performing better than most cover crops in poor soils. It retrieves phosphorus that supports later crops’ roots, flowers and fruit.
Growth is quick and breaks down quickly, so the same area can be planted 3 to 4 weeks after turning it in. White flowers form about 35 days after sowing unless turned under first. Cold sensitive types are sown from spring to fall frost.
