Im excited to give this a try!!!

I am a believer in cover crops and the benefits they can bring to your garden. I have never used this daikon seed before, Im hoping that this will help de-compact my soil.

Great Daikon

Planted late October & it's about 3" now, very pleased with the robustness of the seed. Planted it to loosen heavy clay soil.

My dog loves it

Me and my dog battle over who owns and gets to play in the backyard ha, I need better soil to plant and he needs enrichment. He eats a lot of the leaves and the radish, and my yard is happy too. look forward to using it more in the future when it’s not as difficult to harvest.
