2. Preparation of the floorLoosen the soil with a garden hoe or spade to achieve a fine crumbly structure. Remove weeds and large stones.
3. Sowing timeThe best time to sow buckwheat is in spring, as soon as there is no longer any risk of frost. The exact time varies depending on the climate and region.
