The deep roots of radishes, and the voids that winterkilled and decayed radishes create, have led some farmers to "bio strip-till" with the popular cover crop, says a report by several university experts.
There are many innovative ways people can use strip-till, and that includes "bio strip-till," or "bio-drilling" using cover crops. With this practice, strip-tillers use forage radishes and other cover crops to create voids in the soil, rather than using a strip-till rig.
