3. Use soil that is well-drained.
Don’t use soil that is overly rich. There is no need for user fertilizers that are high in nitrogen or fresh manure. You may be able to get away with using potting soil. Just look at the back of the package and see if it is a type of soil that is well-drained.
When you place the soil down, place it down heavily. You want your seeds to be covered in soil. Just using plain ground dirt won’t do much for your radishes. In fact, the radishes won’t even grow. If they do grow, they won’t have that crisp taste. When growing radishes, you want a crispy and mild flavor.
The right soil allows for the roots to be strong, which is needed for radishes. When you pull the radishes up, some of the soil will still be on them, so just brush it off gently. There is no need to bruise the radish.
