Daikon Radishes Cover Crop Species Profile
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.

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.
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.

Daikons are pretty cool!
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.

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.
Is it a driller daikon cultivar?
