Default Buckwheat

I have never done it but I have read about it. I learned that you sow it at
the correct time in the spring and just before it goes to seed, you plow it
into the ground. Then you sow it a second time and plow it in the fall
before it goes to seed. It is supposed to be one of the best green manures
available.

I am thinking of sowing some buckwheat to use as a green manure crop. Does
anyone know any do's or don'ts? Thanks Herman
