Fodder radish has many uses in the garden beyond harvesting it for its oil production. Many use it as a cover crop to help treat compact soil with its taproot, the root also help suppress nematodes in the soil, and its readiness to grow helps choke out weeds. Fodder radish also produces large amounts of foliage which works well as a green manure, and can chopped and mixed into the top layer of soil. This helps the ground retain moisture and makes a more fertile soil.

Planting depth should be ¼ to ½ inch deep and can be done by raking in seeds after broadcast sowing seeds at a rate of 1g per square meter/yard.
