Darke Co. Ohio | Save yourself some money and go 1 part Radish to 2 parts Rapeseed. And I'd suggest putting some kind of grass in with it too. Like if you want it all to winterkill and can get it planted 6 weeks before a frost oats are ALWAYS a good thing. Cereal Rye if you want it (or don't mind if) to overwinter. Triticale works pretty well also. You might also consider a legume like winter peas or vetch.
This is my second year with a 10 species mix following my wheat. The covers always seem to work better in mixes, and you can get the price wrangled down pretty well and still have a good cover if you just work the populations a little.
And yes, I sell cover seed. But I've been planting them 5 years longer than I've been selling them. And I wouldn't sell it if I didn't believe it and do it myself.
