Tillage Radish Seeds (Daikon / Soil-Breaking Radish)

Tillage radish is one of nature’s best soil improvers — a fast-growing, deep-rooting crop designed to break up compacted soil, boost organic matter, and support healthier, more productive gardens.

Often called a “bio-drill,” this powerful radish sends long taproots deep into the soil, naturally loosening hard ground and improving drainage. As the roots decompose, they leave behind channels that help water, air, and beneficial microbes move freely through your soil.

🌿 Why Grow Tillage Radish?

✔️ Breaks up compacted or hard soils
✔️ Improves drainage and water infiltration
✔️ Adds organic matter back into the soil
✔️ Helps suppress weeds naturally
✔️ Supports soil biology and worm activity
✔️ Great for regenerating tired garden beds

Perfect for food forests, vegetable gardens, orchards, and between rows of crops like dragon fruit 🌵
