Average Radish Weight in grams

Pink Beauty (Clover)		Pink Beauty (No Clover)		Daikon (Clover)	Daikon (No Clover)

The clover still seems to be competing with out lettuce

 

So the plan is to trim back the clover and see if they catch up, but this is an important observation.

November 10th Update

 

 Hello readers! We are realizing the difficult of weeding with the clover companion crop. It all has to be done by hand as to leave the clover. The clover is also competing with our crops for sunlight, we may have to cut it back. All in all our plants are growing well, looking to do some more weeding on Wednesday.

Our first Daikons pulled from both sides: one on left from Red Clover side, one on right from no Red Clover side. Hold on the judgement about if adding clover helps with growth or not. This is only the first. We will judge that when all are pulled out. November 10, 2014
