Description
Organic Black Buckwheat
This green manure has been cultivated in Quebec for a long time. It is used to prepare, enrich, and cleanse the soil. It is very effective at clearing weeds from the soil. It thrives in sandy soils but also grows well in clay soils. As it does not tolerate frost, it should be established from early June to early September. Its magnificent white flowers attract a multitude of beneficial insects, which is why it is tilled under at the decline of its flowering.
Sowing rate: 2 kg/100 square meters or 2 kg/1076.39 square feet

Growing tips for green manures
Green manures are crops intended to be worked into the soil to increase fertility. Growing green manures has many benefits. Among other things, it allows you to prepare new land. Grown cyclically, green manures rest, enrich, and cleanse the soil. Established in the fall, they protect the soil from erosion and leaching and preserve its structure.
