Rapid fall growth in short windows allows radishes to fit perfectly into a traditional corn and soybean rotation. Radish residue breaks down

Learning and getting results!
I used your program for the second time to figure out what to plant as cover crops. I’m not a farmer; just a gardener but I’m seeing improvements and having fun too. Many thanks!

Nitro Radish
I purchased this seed and a few others to be used as a cover crop in my garden. I have clay soil that I have incorporated compost into. My intentions are to prepare the garden for next season by breaking up the clay and allow the compost to be worked in without tilling. The real review of this product will be next years garden. For now I am happy with the price and selection I get from Green Cover Seed.
