Is your soil not producing plants the way it used to? Is it feeling a little worn out and used up? It's time to introduce your soil to Buckwheat, a rapidly growing cover crop that will condition your soil and bring in nutrients it needs. We love Buckwheat for the way it attracts pollinating honeybees, which will then help you pollinate the rest of your garden! Plus, it's a scavenger of phosphorus and calcium, and mineralizes rock phosphate, making these nutrients available for later crops. You'll want to sow 3 lbs of seed per 1,000 sq ft after the final frost of spring--done this early, you could plant more than one rotation for a true soil conditioning. Once the seed is spread, use a rake to scratch the seed gently into the top quarter inch of the soil and water well.
