Thank you. I just ordered seed. It might be a little late but I will know for next year.
I plant turnips for a similar purpose. I need to try some daikons too, though. Turnips do help break up the soil somewhat, but they tend to rise up out of the soil as they get bigger, not keep digging down into it like daikons do.
EDIT: according to a brief search, daikon radish is good food for chickens and rabbits, too. I'm always interested in growing a variety of things for them, instead of having to buy bags of feed all the time.
I let them go to seed and now they are all over my garden if there is not enough mulch.
Good info, thanks!
Thank you. Really good info. I use it in all my perennial beds to help clay to drain better. Most of the bulb ends up growing above the ground but any little bit is worth it.
Any tasty soup recipe with them you want to share?
So a few frosts are ok but harvest before freezing unless letting decompose? In the spring can plant straight into the decomposition?
You had me at survive food. Ordered a pack of seeds to try out.
USDA sent ppl with machine guns to Amish farmer and they shut him down with $300K fine ! FDA not getting enough sick ppl so they wanna go after organic farmers !!!!!!!!
Hi Mark! So nice to see you! You look well… you've certainly dropped quite a lot of weight… I just planted daikon this morning so I love that you're offering this video for us.
It does seem strange that the government wants gardeners to register the food we're growing… very strange indeed. I will not be registering, that is for sure. They make it seem like a community project or something… very very strange.
Hello Mark. I’m thinking of growing daikon radish between my tomato plants to break down the clay pan under my good soil. Would this work or would the radish be taking the nutrients away from the tomatoes?
Do Not tell the Government anything about your gardening!
They hate farmers, they hate gardeners.
Taking out the farmers and gardeners is a excellent way to stave us!
So, don't be alarmed they only want to kill something over 7 billion WW.
Thanks for sharing. You said at one point you would come back to thin the seedlings. Is that for harvesting daikon as food? If as cover crop, do you just sow, rake in, water and leave alone without thinning?
I discovered Daikon about 12 years ago.
It's my favourite.
Outstanding info as usual. Thank you
