Tartary buckwheat
This variety, with stems that remain green even at maturity, offers numerous bunches of white flowers. Little cultivated for food use, it is perfect for green manure production.

Sow light-coloured directly in the ground, in rows 15 cm apart. Cover and lightly lead the seeds. For ground cover, it is also possible to sow into August and September.
Used as a green manure, buckwheat protects and covers the soil, enriching it with humus and preventing nutrients from leaching out. It is fast-growing, but does not tolerate frost.
