[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5046846, member: 63856"] Are you looking for more of a single species or a mix - most species with big deep roots have them more for dry condition survival. In any case, radish would be a good choice in a mix but I have never grazed it or grown any but [USER=479]@JD-Kid[/USER] has I think. I would definitely go with a mix, some bulky stuff that will use up a lot of moisture to grow, some deep rooting stuff to help with the subsoiling effort, and probably some legume to provide a bit of N for soil and stock. Probably tillage radish, peas, cereals, and brassicas; depends on what you want to spend on seed, really... some of the cover crop mixes you see used in the world make the mind boggle in terms of diversity, but then they achieve great results so....
