      Hi johnjude thanks for the kind words, watching and the sub. If you wait too long the buckwheat goes to seed. I have had this happen in small amounts with volunteer buckwheat the following season but nothing that became a huge problem. It is easy to identify and pull out and good for the soil. Best of luck!

    Have u had any problems with lygus bugs or root lesion nematodes? I read buckwheat harbors these pests. I’m wanting to use buckwheat as a cover crop but I’m scared that I’m going to introduce those nematodes. Awesome vid btw!

      Hi Vincent, I have never had problems with lygus bugs or root lesion nematodes, nor have I heard of it being a problem locally (southern BC Canada). I did a bit of research and the nematode reference seems to be from a study in 1973, more recent info I could find did not mention either problem with buckwheat. If you are concerned you can try a small "test" area first and then see what happens. It grows fast once established. Best of luck!!

      Hi, I get it locally at a food/garden/homestead type store. You can buy it online in packs too.
