Well I did something foolish. I planted a small plot of buckwheat (1/3) acre or so. I heard buckwheat needed a planting depth of 1-2inches so I went heavy on the broadcasting (doubled the amount) since I figured some of the seed would not germinate properly. Boy was I wrong on that and my estimation of how much seed to broadcast was obviously off. Plants appear to be much more than the recommended 3inches apart. (more like 1 inch apart). The buckwheat was coming in nice the first week but I fear I planted too heavy and now they are wilting and a yellowish green. I fertilized as recommended and applied lime about 6 weeks ago pH was 6.2. We have had a lack of rain so it could be do to that but it reminds me of how brassica looks if planted to heavy...essentially killing itself. Can this happen with buckwheat? thanks.
