So, I planted about 8 acres (4 different food plots) of radishes in October. They sprouted and grew very well. The deer ignored them all season until the hard frost in early january - now they are tearing them up. Two questions #1 many of them are about 6"-9" long - but instead of pushing down deep into the soil - they are popping up out of the soil by as much as 4" to 6". Does this signal shallow hard pan or is this normal..?? (One of my goals with the radishes was to get them to grow into and break up hard pan). #2 the deer are digging them up and eating the lower end only and leaving the top part laying on the ground - normal..?? Thx for any thoughts.
