Buckwheat - Unbelievable growth. You need to try this...

Here are pics of my 2 acres of buckwheat. Planted it at #25/acre, in light soil, with no fertilizer. I am impressed.


Here's another shot. Man I am happy about this crop. It obviously stays ahead of the deer, grows very well in poor soil, and is highly palatible, with high protein to boot. What a great crop.



I'm laughing at how easy this stuff is to get to grow...It's just rampant.



In a month or so, I'll turn it under with the disk, and put in my winter crop of austrian winter peas, oats, and some rape. The deer will have a lot to eat all through the end of the year, and even into the snow.
