Organic Green Manure Buckwheat

50g organic green manure seeds per gardener’s packet

Improve your soil naturally with our 100% pesticide-free Organic Green Manure Buckwheat, 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.
