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 9203 reviewsI grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
