Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Fracking Radish – Deep-tillage daikon-type radish for soil aeration, compaction relief, nutrient cycling, and sustainable cover cropping. Non-GMO, high purity, and ideal for regenerative farming.

Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Fracking Radish (Deep-Tillage Daikon-Type Radish) is a premium cover crop seed engineered to restore and revitalize tired soils. Known for its deep taproot system, this specialized radish penetrates compacted soil layers, naturally breaking through hardpan and improving water infiltration. As the roots grow and decompose, they create channels for air, water, and future crop roots to thrive.

This daikon-type radish not only improves soil structure but also scavenges nutrients from deep below the surface, recycling them into the topsoil for the next planting season. The result is healthier soil biology, increased organic matter, and stronger yields in rotational crops.

Cold-tolerant and fast-growing, Wicked Fracking Radish performs exceptionally well in no-till and conservation systems. It provides dense ground cover to suppress weeds, reduce erosion, and enhance microbial activity — all while requiring minimal management. Non-GMO, high purity, and tested for superior germination, this cover crop is the ultimate choice for sustainable farmers and land managers.
