Does anyone know anyone using buckwheat in a covercrop?
I may have found some seed at a reasonable price.

I have very limited experience of it, where the wife used it as cover crop in the vegetable garden this year. Germinates faster than anything else and makes a nice cover, although I think I remember reading it can cause photosensitivity if grazed.

To be fair ... and to read a bit deeper ;)
PBH does rotational grazing with his ewes I believe,.. Brisel again is another v. learned poster
the comment about grazing was about the fact that round here we say 'eat it off' not 'graze it off '...and we have doing so since well before even the Americans were out shooting Bison.
