Anybody ever try a Sunn hemp / buckwheat mix?
I’m curious how the mix does once the buckwheat dies. Wonder if it will reseed itself or does more seed need to be broadcast into the plot?No, but I'm glad you asked because I've wondered about that myself. In for answers.
I personally like to do buckwheat by itself because I can get 3 crops out of it from 1 planting here in SC. Once the sunn hemp takes of it will probably shade out the buckwheat from any volunteer growth. That’s what I would think would happen.
Do you add more buckwheat seed to the plot?

Do you disc it in after it goes to seed?No it comes back just as thick as it was the first time.

I’ve read great reviews about power plant. I may see if I can get some cow peas and make my own blend.I’m going BOB + buckwheat in a few weeks. WINA Power Plant (soybeans, cow peas, sunn hemp, sunflowers) with buckwheat mixed in. Ultimate summer salad bar.

Did you get a lot of deer hammering that plot?I would go for it. I planted 1/2 acre of Power Plant last year and it was awesome. I’m sold on that summer blend for smaller plots.

I got two small plots sewed this morning and got a nice shower as I parked the tractor. Anxious to see how the Sunn Hemp and buckwheat plots look in a couple weeks
The buckwheat will come up quick.
