Just out of curiosity, how many of you plant or have planted buckwheat? If > you did, has the market been favorable for the "axle grease" (honey) as it > should? BTDT. I planted it for organic reasons, not for the honey, which sells well in upper NY state, but it is foul for most the rest who try it. Probably do just as well selling sweetened coal tar :) It is very easy to grow. I used a tiller. Actually, the worst honey I have ever tasted was lehua honey from Hawaii. Buckwheat is strong, but those who eat a lot of honey know that the darker ones have interesting flavors. Buckwheat is very dark.
