Radish, Groundhog (Raphanus sativus var. niger) 50 Organic Seeds (1 gram) by Smoke Camp Crafts - Tilling Radish, Nutrient Cycler, Cover Crop

You will receive one packet containing 50 organic Groundhog Daikon radish (Raphanus sativus var. niger) seeds (1 gram). This fast-growing, cool-season annual is a powerhouse of soil management. Best planted in late summer to fall, its huge roots draw nutrients from deep in the soil, its large leaves shade out competing weeds, and after it is frost-killed in midwinter (below 20 F) its roots decompose and contribute to soil aeration. Great for no-till cropping systems, improving dense, heavy soils, and cover cropping. Can be used as a green manure, planted in the spring and allowed to grow before tilling and planting a later target crop. Radishes can be broadcast sown or seeded in rows. Allow a few plants to bolt (flower) in order to save seed. 45-60 days to maturity.
