Buckwheat Seed (lb)
Buckwheat Seed (lb)
Draws Out Insoluble Phosphorus from the Soil
- Application Rate: 3 lb/1000 sq ft or 60-80 lb/acre
- Inoculant: NA
- Germination: 5 -7 Days
- Plant Height: 8" - 3'
- Days to Maturity: 30-45
- Uses: Attracts beneficial insects, accumulates insoluble phosphorus and, when turned under, releases it to the soil in plant-available form. Planted early, it is an excellent trap crop for thrips during bloom of fruits and vines.
- Facts to Note: Non-legume broadleaf does not fix Nitrogen but is one of the best hot weather cover crops because of its ability to produce organic matter and smother summer weeds (Canada Thistle, Quackgrass, Nutgrass, etc) quickly. Quick to maturity so 2 to 4 plantings can be sown in one summer. Absolutely requires warm growing conditions.

Can't get enough of this buckwheat seed. Excellent price. Bees love it!
This is a great cover crop for South Texas. Helps me keep beds covered during the heat of summer when not much else can grow. Bees love the flowers and easy to terminate. Definitely noticed improvement in my beds after ward. Love that I can buy in bulk for a reasonable price. Makes it easy and budget friendly to do cover cropping on our small homestead.
I was THRILLED to find buckwheat somewhere in Albany. I used to buy it at Nichols Nursery every year but they’ve moved to Philomath. I like the rapid growth of buckwheat and no fuss care of the plants. I used to grow it when I raised honeybees. It not only gave them food but fed my garden. Very easy crop to grow and I like the way it will reseed itself, I use it every year.
Grow Organic has so many affordable prices on cover crops, when I saw that they had buckwheat available I definitely added it to my cart, and bought. I will be using this LW for chicken feed and every other place I saw didn't have such great prices
I purchased a bulk order of this as a cover crop for some areas of my yard that I'm reworking. These guys popped up instantly and have been growing FAST. Excellent germination, excellent growth. I will absolutely be using buckwheat again.
Let customers speak for us
from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
