wild buckwheat
Hello-I'm new here. I've been gardening in Connecticut for quite a
while now, mostly flowers etc. and had quite a successful season thanks to all the rain in the spring. We also rather casually cultivate a large patch of raspberries which are grown organically, and have a PYO little business. We didn't have much of a July crop, again thanks to all of the rain, but are looking forward to the Sep-Oct. crop. I went out to the patch today and to my horror find that we are infested with wild buckwheat (identified through some research. It's not bindweed). I spent some time pulling the noxious weed out of some rows (while castigating myself that the situation had gotten to such a point) and now I'm wondering if anyone out there has dealt with this invasion. According to research, it can be killed with flamethrowers and heavy applications of herbicide (which would do in the raspberries also). It does strike me that this plant would make a wonderful groundcover/ugly eyesore cover but doesn't belong in polite society or in rows of raspberries. Any experience/thoughts? Thanks! Sue |
