[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5131833, member: 17"] I know it's a commonly told story that turnips and radishes "break up" hard soil with their deep tap roots, but it didn't work at all on my soils. Turnips grew up out of the ground with just the root tip touching the ground, and "deep" tap roots ran sideways just under the soil's surface. Deer would eat the leaves after the first hard freeze, but they can get pretty big and "rangy." That's why I don't use them anymore. I get more biomass the deer prefer from other plants. [/QUOTE]
