If the soil is crusty, the roots can become misshapen. To prepare the soil, clear the area of rocks, trash, and large sticks. Small pieces of grass and leaves can be mixed into the soil to make it richer.
Spade the soil inches deep and completely cover plant material. You may optionally scatter 1 cup of a complete fertilizer on the soil for each 10 feet of row to be planted. Rake the soil until it is smooth and work the beds into raised ridges to allow soil to drain and let air enter soil. Space the ridges inches apart from center to center or further apart if radishes are to be followed by a summer crop.
You plant 2 or more rows of radishes on each ridge. Planting: Plant seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Plant seeds in the furrows spaced 1 inch apart within the rows. Cover lightly with loose soil then sprinkle with water. You may make several plantings days apart for a steady supply of radishes. They will be ready for harvest about weeks from planting.
