Description
Grow Green Manure 'Buckwheat' as a short-term summer green manure with fast growing foliage to suppress weed growth. Buckwheat is deep rooting, to absorb nutrients from deep in the soil. If left to bloom, the flowers will attract beneficial hoverflies to your veg patch or allotment. Buckwheat decomposes quickly for excellent humus formation and the improvement to soil structure and moisture retention. Dig in the crop before the harsh frosts. Contents: 75g (2.5 oz) sufficient to sow 12 sq. m (approx. 13 sq. yd).Sow from May to August after all risk of frost, whenever the soil is vacant for at least 2 months, or where there is an area which requires increased fertility.
