If you have been wondering what all the fuss is about regarding “Summer Cover Crops” well here is a great example of all that fuss , A customer of JBH Rural was needing some help with an area that had been impacted with die back , broadleaf weeds amongst other issues , We created a blend for their soil and area using Buckwheat as the quick growing cover to create a beautiful environment for the Lucerne , Glycine , Reclaimer Rhodes and Gatton Panic to germinate and thrive without being impacted by the hot dry days we have been experiencing , the results speak for themselves , you can see in the photos a beautiful blend of multispecies plantings starting to flourish under the shelter of the Buckwheat , Buckwheat can be used in hay , is highly nutritious for grazing cattle and when the other species become established then the Buckwheat numbers will reduce , This pasture blend will be so versatile , it can be used for hay , grazing and mulched to provide a lovely soil cover to hold moisture for longer , and by using a multi species blend the soil will become an active life force , Thankyou to our customer for your support and allowing us to share your photos , great outcome so far 😊
