  • Daikon Radishes are a popular cover crop in regenerative agriculture for people who grow cover crops, but I use them in small quantities. They are great, but i'm not sure that they are all they are cracked up to be.

    Great commentary on the Daikon Radish! I am a home gardener, using Daikon Radish as an edge crop along the paths.

    Personally I would stick with daikon because my family eats a lot of the stuff
    The other radishes not so much

    I'm getting a 50 lb bag of deer plot seed for less than $40 it grows fast even in December in upstate SC, I don't have the knowledge of exactly the best way to get my money worth, but I'm experimenting with with alot of different seed.

      That’s the best thing you can do is experiment and see what comes up.

      I often eat them raw while I'm on the farm!

      Yes, but I generally do not cook with it. If I eat it I do so in the field raw!

      They are a staple food in the Philippines. We eat them weekly.

    From your experience, does daikon fare well in acidic soil around ph 5.5-6.5? If not I’m curious what the ph of your soil is.

    • @DowdleFamilyFarms

      Our clay soils tend to lean on the acidic side. Usually around 6.5. I think the acidic sub layers of soil mess daikon up for us.

    How did you pant it? It was by broadcast sowing?

      Yes, I did, but I have since purchased a no till drill that I use when I can.
