About the mix
Ideal as part of IPM strategy. Vigorous to establish, release nutrients and taken out by frost.
- This mixture complies with SAM2 & IPM3
- The two crops will benefit each other's growth
- Buckwheat will allow more phosphorous to become available to the next crop
- Buckwheat when used as a cover crop is good at suppressing weeds and can attract insects and pollinators when in blossom.
- Fenugreek gives off an odour which deters the flea beetle.
