Oil Radish
Oil radishes grow quickly, with a widely branched root system, penetrating deeply into the soil profile. This attribute aids the radish’s ability to scavenge for nitrogen, preventing leaching, allowing nitrogen to be recycled into the following crop. With its quick growth habit it quickly produces a large leafy canopy, which can be incorporated back into the soil, enhancing soil structure and enriching soil humus.

Daikon Tillage Radish
This radish produces a long tap root, penetrating through many different soils types and profiles, improving drainage and air movement through the soil. This deep tap rooted radish captures and stores nutrients from deep within the soil which is released during the spring for the next crop.
Mustard
Sown after cereals, mustard can be grazed from October/November. Mustard is a very fast establishing leafy plant which provides rapid cover early in the season until the first frost.
