Organic matter is very important for a strong heathy garden...and Buckwheat does a great job at adding lots of it to the soil. 

Grow it and then chop it down for lots of great organic matter!

2.  Animal Fodder--Both The Greens And Grain

If you have any animals you can chop the buckwheat greenery down and feed it to your goats, chickens, or other animals.

You can also feed your chickens the seeds after they are ripe. Both of these methods can help you cut down on your feed bill.

3.  Attracts Beneficial Insects

In your vegetable garden (and everywhere for that matter), you need lots of beneficial insects...bees, lady bugs, lacewings, and more! 

That is another benefit of the buckwheat plant. The tiny white flowers draw tons of them in! Which means better pollination for your garden plants.

4.  Famous Honey Plant

As mentioned above, buckwheat attracts tons of bees. Which is part of the reason it makes a great honey plant! Be sure to plant some near your bee hives, if you have any.

We love honey and someday hope to get a few hives going. So I am always thinking of what plants the bees like.

Not to mention the better pollination you will get for all of your veggies nearby. ;)
