It grows better than most cover crops in poor soils and is better at retrieving phosphorus, a macro-nutrient that contributes to later crops' root, flower, and fruit growth. Buckwheat not only grows quickly, it also breaks down quickly in the soil, allowing for planting in the same area just 3 to 4 weeks after incorporating it into the soil. It can also be used as mulch on the soil surface. If allowed, white flowers will form about 35 days after sowing and are loved by beneficial insects and even make pretty filler in bouquets! Turn buckwheat into soil before seeds begin forming. Because buckwheat is cold sensitive, it is grown spring to fall frost, except in mild climates that may be warm enough to grow into fall and possibly winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Buckwheat seed shaker covers approximately 550 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Seed Shakers come without a shaker top by design - ensuring smooth, hassle-free seed scattering with no clumping or blockages!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44375909531844,"sku":"4821","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1337\/8159\/files\/common-buckwheat-1-zoom.jpg?v=1774920435"},{"product_id":"cover-crop-crimson-clover-seed-shaker","title":"Cover Crop Crimson Clover Seed Shaker","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnhance your garden's nitrogen levels with our new, eco-friendly seed shakers!

This annual clover has larger, elongated flower heads with deep red, long-lasting blossoms that invite beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and bees. Like other clovers, crimson clover fixes nitrogen, but it's faster growing for quick benefits to your garden. Crimson clover grows best in cool weather, so grow it as a spring or fall cover crop. For maximum nitrogen, till, mow, or cut back with a weed trimmer at end of bloom and before seeds form. Grows in a variety of soils but does best if soil is well drained. Plants tolerate some shade so you can sow crimson clover in between rows or under tall plants, such as with corn or under fruit trees. A beautiful addition to fill spots in flower beds and borders. Flowers can be harvested and dried to make a delicious tea with a light, refreshing flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Crimson Clover seed shaker covers approximately 1,130 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Seed Shakers come without a shaker top by design - ensuring smooth, hassle-free seed scattering with no clumping or blockages!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44375910940868,"sku":"4820","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1337\/8159\/files\/crimson-clover-1-zoom.jpg?v=1774920393"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.epicgardening.com\/collections\/cover-crop-seed-shaker.oembed","provider":"Epic Gardening","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
