I just planted a bunch of driller Diakon Radishes in my front yard to do some biological tillage on all of my clay soil.

Lots of info on YouTube about doing this.

I plan to leave most of them in the ground to compost, but I plan to pull some for eating.

The cool thing about them is that pull needed nutrients from deep underground.

This is what I bought: https://meritseed.com/driller-daikon-radish-annual/

Awesome! Thank you!!

I am about to start to attempt to collect compost feedstock from various resources and not sure how to tell if chemicals were ever used.

Thanks for the info!

I know you can send soil to be tested by your local university extension, but how do you test for conaminents like used hydrocarbons, arsenic, lead, glyphosate-based herbicides, etc?

I am about to embark on a hobby of composting and would like to know.

Looks like some Ramaria stricta I found last year while hiking in Wyoming.

Also known as Upright Coral Fungus

Yep. Don't eat it and don't let your pets near it.

Really common in greenhouses due to their hot and humid climate (like tropical conditions).
