The tilage radish as a winter cover crop turned out really interesting. The big tops that we cut down 5 weeks rotted down really well. What was a surprise was that we had smaller radishes that were shaded underneath that took off after we cut the larger ones down. Normally in the midwest these things winter kill so they dont have these issues. I finally sprayed the field 10 days ago but even tho the tops died the roots are still whole underneath the soil. As I plow this is what I see everywhere. lol
Overall ive been very pleased with the radishes as a cover crop. In the past we have grwn cereal rye, frostmaster peas, clover, and vetch. The radishes are far better IMO. Sorry I know this has nothing to do with no till, just cool stuff thats going on around here.
