Oilseed Radish
seeds per packet: 400+
price: $1.99
|
|
As a cover crop, the extra-long taproot breaks up and aerates
the soil in addition to drawing up nutrients for following
crops. When turned under just before flowering, its
decomposition helps to control soilborne pests, especially cyst
and sting nematodes. Avoid using in close rotation with cole
crops due to similar pests and diseases.
For green manure, till in at any growth stage. |
