Buckwheat hull mulch! ????? Here I am in Quebec where buckwheat could be a great crop - about 28 days to harvest. I grew a field of it once - 1972. It was one of the most beautiful field crops - beautiful heart shaped leaves, star shaped pink and white flowers, just humming with bees! A hummingly beautiful experience. We cut it with a scythe, threshed it over a sheet... And then - how do you get the hulls off????? We had no way of doing that so we stored it in the cabin while we considered that problem. In the spring, we found neatly hulled buckwheat in a small quantity. The mice had a feast. But we still have the memories of that beautiful field.

I have never even SEEN buckwheat mulch, even here in Quebec. No wonder it is expensive!

I wonder what that farm down the St. Lawrence does with its hulls....
