Wicked Tuff Turf Radish is a deep-rooted cover crop that loosens tough soil for you — no heavy tillage equipment needed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eOld Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Radish (Raphanus sativus) is a brassica grown not for eating but for fixing soil. A cover crop is a plant you grow to protect and improve the ground between cash crops. This one sends down a single thick taproot 12 to 36 inches deep, punching through hardpan — the compacted layer that blocks water and roots. Growers call this “biodrilling”: the root tills the soil naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eWhat makes it different is purity and depth. It is uncoated, high-germination seed, and that deep root does two jobs at once — it breaks compaction and it “scavenges” nitrogen (pulls leftover nitrogen from deep in the soil up into the plant so it isn’t lost to runoff). In Zone 5 and colder the plant “winter-kills” (the cold kills it naturally), and as the root rots it leaves open channels called macropores that let water and air move freely — while releasing the stored nutrients back for your spring crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0in 2.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -13.5pt;
