Buckwheat cover crop is coming in nicely. The goal is to let it create a thick carpet. Then I will selectively chop it where the vines go during vine burying. Benefit is keeping roots in the ground working with the microbial life and creating soil aggregates. Also it should help with weed suppression and moisture retention (important in my climate).
