Buckwheat is frost sensitive and will be killed.To prevent reseeding buckwheat must be turned under or cut within 10 days of flowering to prevent reseeding. Buckwheat sets seed quickly. Unless you w

Started drawing up blueprints for 3 point hardneck planter 10 months ago .Things are getting close to try out the timing of the planter wheels. Will be more info in the next post.
