Planting Buckwheat to Improve Soil

We're in the first few months of a soil improvement project and we're planting buckwheat to till into the soil, and this late summer patch also serves as a deer food plot. Come this fall, we'll plant a cool season cover crop/food plot here, and then till it into the soil in the spring.
Watch the tool rack video: • The Best Firewood Setu...
The Kubota L3901 with the Sitrex 3-point spreader make quick work spreading fertilizer. The Countyline tiller incorporates our last crop into the soil with little effort making the perfect seed bed for our next buckwheat crop.

We have had the driest summer around my place that I’ve seen in years, sure hope to get some rain soon. You might want to consider winter rye this fall, it does the best to build soil of anything I’ve seen. Enjoyed the video!

Nice job! The 3-point spreader works great. I was also impressed with the hand-held version. You got your steps in for the day on that one! #purplecollarlife

Looks good. We have been dealing with poor soil as well. Buckwheat was also suggested but make sure you get to it before it goes to seed (right after flower) or that could become a new weed issue.

I've been warned of that too. That's why I mowed down and tilled in the previous crop.

Did you ever test the soil again to see uf the buckwheat did improve it?

Phil tried to catch the fertilizer values when you dumped them, but they didn't show. What fertilizer are you using?

How about a rye crop over the winter (winter wheat) then till in down in the spring.

Hey Larry - I'll probably do rye mixed with clover or some other legume to act as a nitrogen fixer.

Have you ever tried to sow buckwheat on untouched ground? Does it push through dead weeds etc that is already there? I am considering my options for replacing wild raspberry on my cabin lot without having to open the whole earth for it. I don't feel like buying a tilling machine or breaking the ground too much because it is close to a well and I want to protect the water from catching humus.

I have and you will get some germination. If you're able to seed and then mow, the cuttings provide good cover which will improve germination rate.

Nice going Phil, how do you like your Wyze camera so far?

@FlatCreekOutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

no complaints yet. Actually really impressed with the battery life. I think its at like 59% still since I installed it. I thought I'd have to take it down more often to recharge it.
