Growing Radish

I've found main pests tend to be grasshoppers and caterpillers. You can grow them with daikon radish in between. They have bigger leaves and grow more vigorously so tend to attract pests. They are also reported to be good for soil system in similar way to rocket. In Japan they grow them in the rows between orchards for soil quality and to suppress pests.
