Tillage radish for permaculture, they till and leave a lot of organic matter, but there is a down side
Dear oh dear! Very good advice, I was thinking about planting some!
What a great word of warning! Thank you for posting this!
the good side is that the smell only seems to last for 3 weeks.
how would it work if you let the radishes grow then once they started rotting cover the area with wood chips back to eden style
I bet your neighbors are loving you!
Thanks for the post and the heads-up. Do ya think machine tilling them into the soil would reduce the smell while maintaining the benefits?
Probably a good time to put down mulch to cover the smell
If you ran cattle in that paddock they would eat most of the radish that is above ground which should stop the most of the smell
I'm so glad this option exists though, even though it stinks, lol
I guess that smell won’t do any harm to crops such as Peas or wheat. Kindly advise from Punjab India
Man, i bet that dirt is going to be kickass though. Next spring eh?
Biochar may take care of the odor.
First time I've heard anyone talk about the smell. I guess we can always harvest early and let live stock munch it all up before it goes into rot. The natural tilling effect and weed control is mainly what I want to use them for anyways. I believe other cover crops can boost nitrogen almost as much without all the stink.
