Buckwheat Seeds: Untreated, Non-GMO, 5 lbs.

In my garden I use buckwheat to improve soil. Supposedly it puts nitrogen back into the soil, which most plants take out. I have not verified this personally, but I trust the experts who say so. What I have noticed is how the consistency of the dirt that the buckwheat grows in gets really nice--easy to turn over and plant. The buckwheat itself is great in compost.My experience with these seeds has been quite pleasant. As a lazy gardener, I just sprinkle them on the ground and water, and the buckwheat grows like weeds.

It came well packaged but in a cheaper postage container. My husband is in shipping so we critique everything for it's common sense approach to mailing, It is meant to use as a green manure/cover crop in my brand new, used-to-be-grass lawn 2400 square foot vegetable garden. It comes up IMMEDIATELY. I did not seed it that thick but apparently the germination is also very good because it is thick in my Minnesota soil. Five pounds is a lot of seed so I am sharing with other gardeners. No doubt I will have buckwheat seed for many years.

Buckwheat helps condition the soil as a cover crop. Bees love it (I am a beekeeper) and it pops up in nothing flat and can be turned in or pulled out after only 30 days in the great. (if you need a fast soil conditioner)

Germinated quickly. Good quality seed.

I plant buckwheat as a cover crop in the fall & winter. If you let it go to seed, it will plant itself besyde my garden plants. It’s gear for bringing in pollinators early in the season.

Nothing to complain about it.Quality is good, delivery was good, !

Excellent germination rate

Great germination rate. Chickens are LOVING the foot high sprouts! Thanks!
