One of the standout products is the Outsidepride Daikon Radish, an Oriental Radish Cover Crop Seed. The Daikon Radish is an annual forage radish ideal as a winter cover crop, thriving in USDA Zones 2-11 and in full sun to partial shade environments. Its deep taproot breaks up compacted soil, improves water infiltration, suppresses weeds, eliminates pests, and stores nitrogen, optimizing benefits when planted in late summer.

The Daikon Radish seeds are known for their ability to suppress unwanted plants, as the radishes grow rapidly and form a dense canopy that blocks sunlight and prevents unwanted plants from taking root. The deep roots also enhance soil structure and water infiltration during the cold months, helping protect soil from erosion and nutrient loss.

Outsidepride's Daikon Radish seeds are easy to grow, requiring minimal maintenance. They germinate quickly, even in cooler temperatures, and can be paired with fast-growing wildflowers and cilantro for a vibrant, low-effort garden. The radishes provide nutritious food for both humans and animals, with the large, crisp roots adding a mild, peppery flavor to salads, and the radish tops serving as leafy greens.

Planting Daikon Radish seeds is straightforward, with a seeding rate of 10-15 lbs per acre or 1/2 pound per 1000 square feet. The seeds should be planted 1/2 inch deep in rows 12-18 inches apart, around 4-10 weeks before the first frost, depending on the climate. Consistent moisture is important, and the radishes can be harvested 50-70 days after planting.
