Elbon Rye / Buckwheat

16 years ago

I just bought a 50# bag of Elbon Rye, and a 50# bag of Buckwheat to use as a cover crop. The Buckwheat is for warm weather, the Rye is for cool weather. I have used both before and was happy with each one. The Buckwheat was much easier to work with but did not produce the mass that the Rye did.

The thing I did not like about the Buckwheat was I did not like tying up my garden space to grow cover crop in warm weather.

If anyone would like a small amount I will send it for what it cost me plus shipping. I would like to suggest that you check with your local Farmers Coop and save shipping (if you can use a 50# bag). My cost was $15 for 50# bag of Rye, $35 for a 50# bag of Buckwheat.

The local Coop could get it in at the same cost, so I expect you can do the same.

If you need any from me just let me know.
