A good idea and hilarious both!

*follows link to another link on the same subject* They're apparently also called "fracking radishes". And I think that's beautiful.

That's lovely.

Adding my own "That's lovely!" and enjoying the beauty and elegance of the solution.

Crazy(and wondering if they also make good eating...)Soph

I went to read about them. Having lived near farmland where the rains ruined the broccoli crop and it rotted in the fields, I decided that drilling radishes were not ideal for aerating my front lawn ;) I am really happy to read that the parks department is using them for that purpose. So sensible! In so many ways!
