I think radish seedlings are offered in micro-green mixes...I know I've seen them listed in Johnny's Seed micro-green pages.

One of my favorite micro-greens is daikon radish.landarch wrote:I think radish seedlings are offered in micro-green mixes...I know I've seen them listed in Johnny's Seed micro-green pages.

I've also been reading about radishes making for a good cover crop...especially long daikon varieties that can help aerate heavy soils up to 24" or so...I think this is called bio-rilling. Radishes can also deter root nematodes...and radish litter can be a good source of nitrogen for the spring garden.

They are planted around here late fall. In the late winter, when it thaws and you get a whiff of the dying/dead decomposing radishes, it smells like roadkill! This is acres and acres I am talking about!

Re: N&C Midwest: August 2016; Hot Stuff!
Last fall I planted Daikon Radishes in a small part of my garden that is not 100% MM. I was trying to get the radishes to burrow down into the clay below the bed. Unfortunately, I either planted it too late in the fall or my clay under the bed was just to hard to penetrate because the radishes did not go down into the clay.landarch wrote:I've also been reading about radishes making for a good cover crop...especially long daikon varieties that can help aerate heavy soils up to 24" or so...I think this is called bio-rilling.

In our area, it is planted to break up the clay hard pan soil and amend. Actual farmland....
