Make the most of Fodder Radish

Sow between early April and late August. It gets to work quickly & helps to break up the soil, the tap roots help to bring up nutrients from deeper in the ground.  It is leafy, which smothers weeds, and provides lots of organic matter to dig in or to compost.  Good to use a a medium term green manure: simply leave it over the winter to die down before digging in and it locks in nutrients for spring planting.

Enough seed in the packet to cover approximately 4 square metres.
