Buckwheat is a plant that can improve the condition of the soil, and also disinfect and can limit the population of dangerous pests. In addition Plant roots secrete compounds that have toxic to pathogenic and larvaewhich are in the ground.
It is therefore worth sowing as onion stains, cucumbers, garlic and other vegetables that easily fall victim to thunder. Thanks to the buckwheat, we will effectively clean the position and prepare them for cultivating specimens that will be able to develop better in the future.
Additionally buckwheat increases the content of organic matter, thanks to which the green mass breaks down quickly and effectively. What’s more, it inhibits the development of weeds, because it grows quickly, shading the soil and preventing the growth of unwanted plants.

Due to the fact that the buckwheat is a thermophilic plant, it requires soil temperature above 10 degrees Celsius so that it can germinate. In addition, it develops best when warm and moderately moist conditions prevail.
Therefore, it is recommended that Sow it at the latest by 15 and in warmer regions of Poland until August 20. The behavior of these terms is important because the buckwheat tolerates frost badly and must manage to grow and accumulate biomass before frost comes.
While at the moment When the buckwheat reaches a height of about 30 cm, but before it begins to bloom and wood. Another option is to leave it on the surface in the form of a litter that will break down. Remember that after such a procedure, the ground needs a few weeks to digest plant mass before we sow or plant other vegetables there.
