Any of you planted them? If so how well did the deer eat them? I'm thinking of planting them instead of winter peas.

The Deer Magnet mix has radishes and peas in it. They ate ours up last year. Last year was the first year for us to plant. Shout out to 2Dogs.

Any actual reports of them digging up the radish portion? I've heard of it, but I can't seem to imagine them doing it in all cases.

They did some of ours. Some they ate down to the dirt. Those things will stick out of the dirt 3-4 ". At least they did on our place last year.

I may try some in my pasture also along with crimson clover & rye to see how my cows will eat it.

I planted them for bout 3 years around the bottom edge of one if my bow hunting stands.The deer never dug the actual radish up but would mow the green down once they got so big.I would pick a few and eat em in the stand

Some of them are pretty hot, see them used in some gourmet dishes.

I never had deer dig them up but did eat the tops. I like winter peas in the mix, can never get those things to grow to any size cause the deer mow them down. The daikons are great for tilling the soil down deep. I had some that reached 2 plus ft in size and as thick as a baseball bat.

They seem to like Rape a lot and is cheap filler. It also goes great in salads.

Dont think the deer ever touched the greens on the ones we planted last year.. the hogs rooted up some of them. Not sure if they did it to eat them or just while looking for something else.

I've been planting them for about 3-4 years. Deer love the tops, and will eat the tubers too. They are great for breaking up hardpan. In the spring, when they rot, they'll feed your soil. No frost needed for the deer to eat them, like PTT. The tops grow more up, than out, therefore making for a better companion crop, than rape. Rape spreads outward and when planted too thick, can shade out other plantings.

Well said. Very good plant to have in your plots.

I bought a lot of daikon radish this time but I've never planted them. Should I broadcast with my grains and cover or broadcast on top with my brassicas and clover?


Yeah cmon. Daniel White

Add you some Sugar Beets to the mix of radishes, deer love them sugar beets after the first good freeze.

Radish is a brassica, although the seed is larger than rape or PTT. I would spread with my other brassica seed.
