Organic Green Manure Buckwheat will improve your soil naturally and it’s 100% pesticide-free, organically grown in the UK. Green manures fix nitrogen in the soil, feed beneficial microorganisms and help retain moisture. Buckwheat is not related to wheat but is a member of the rhubarb family. Organic buckwheat grows very quickly and produces a large quantity of organic matter to dig in, so it’s a valuable green manure. Growing tips: After harvesting a previous crop, (May-August), fork over the soil and remove weeds. Scatter buckwheat seed evenly over the patch and rake in lightly. Water well in dry weather. Dig in or mulch about 10 – 12 weeks after planting but before flowering. 40g organic green manure seeds per gardener’s packet Click Here to see some great herbs and flowers which are perfect for vegetable gardens.
