Radishes and Oats

Here you can see oats threatening to overgrow daikon radishes. One would think that very few weeds could outcompete the extra fast growing radish. But last year this field was a thriving pasture of mostly oats. Now oats and other grasses are the main weed problem. At least the isles were clean. The best tool for weed control is good water management. Unfortunately that tool only works during the summer.
