Manual

Buckwheat is sensitive to frost, sow at the end of May or beginning of June after the danger of night frost has passed. As a cover crop, it is sown immediately after the early main crop (peas, beans, early potatoes) is ready and harvested. Mow or cut down buckwheat within a week and a half of the first flowering to avoid setting seed. After mowing or cutting, the buckwheat residue can either be left on the surface or turned into the soil. Mulch left on the surface will decompose and release nutrients more slowly, help maintain soil stability, and help suppress weeds. Residue that is turned into the soil will decompose and release nutrients more quickly.
