No, Buckwheat doesn't make much of a mulch once it's cut. Decomposes
very rapidly. If tilling buckwheat seed in with a tiller, I'd be
careful to till shallowly. Depending on how much you're planting, I'd
be tempted to leave the tiller in the shed and just walk along dragging
a rake behind me (assuming the soil is loose to begin with before you
broadcasted the seed). Quieter and doesn't use fuel. But do I recall
that you have a heavy clay soil Allan? If so, never mind! -John
