[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5434900, member: 20594"] Last year was the first time we ever planted buckwheat with spray and sow so I'm certainly no buckwheat expert....but I was just amazed at how it smothered out other weeds and how fast it grows. Also the germination rates were as high or higher than anything we've ever planted. As far as timing...we just let it go to maturity and reseed itself. Original crop started to naturally yellow and just before a rain we sowed our fall blend into the dieing buckwheat....and that year I mowed the buckwheat with bush hog over the fall blend seed.... another great quality is how well the buckwheat mows and chops up...plots we're smooth and clean looking after mowing.....so more specifically... maybe we wait until late May or early June to spray and sow the buckwheat....that would at least time out a little better for the fall planting.....I do remember last year as our fall blend germinated we also had little buckwheat sprouts popping up everywhere...which was fine with me.....I just hope the cost comes down some...$83 per bag is ridiculous.
