Freaking sweet find.

If only you know where it came from you can get another one next year because they come back.

Hint hint: don't tell anyone where you found it.

You kids would not remember. in c/memes@lemmy.ml

I just planted a bunch of driller Diakon Radishes in my front yard to do some biological tillage on all of my clay soil.

Lots of info on YouTube about doing this.

I plan to leave most of them in the ground to compost, but I plan to pull some for eating.

The cool thing about them is that pull needed nutrients from deep underground.

This is what I bought: https://meritseed.com/driller-daikon-radish-annual/

Awesome! Thank you!!

I am about to start to attempt to collect compost feedstock from various resources and not sure how to tell if chemicals were ever used.

Thanks for the info!

I know you can send soil to be tested by your local university extension, but how do you test for conaminents like used hydrocarbons, arsenic, lead, glyphosate-based herbicides, etc?

I am about to embark on a hobby of composting and would like to know.

This one grew in one of my indoor potted plants, not sure what it is! in c/mycology@mander.xyz

Yep. Don't eat it and don't let your pets near it.

Really common in greenhouses due to their hot and humid climate (like tropical conditions).
