I came across this article today and since I garden in clay soil was extremely interested in this idea. Apparently some farmers are planting fall crops of these very long radishes and leaving them in the soil to decompose. The radishes are over a foot long and absorb and then release nutrients back into the soil when they decompose. They also leave the soil much softer. Has anyone heard of this or tried this?
