Why choose buckwheat?

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is an annual cover crop that combines honey value, soil enrichment, and ornamental qualities. It grows quickly, produces numerous branches, and generates a significant amount of green biomass. It is especially valued by gardeners, farmers, and beekeepers – as a natural green manure that improves soil structure, and as a rich forage source for bees and other pollinators during summer. Buckwheat flowers are very attractive to honey bees and wild insects, making it an excellent choice for flower meadows, garden edges, and bee cover crops. Additionally, buckwheat performs well on poorer soils, making it easy to cultivate and low-maintenance. It is also a natural way to suppress weeds and prepare soil for main crops.
