Mooli radish is quite widely available.  I know Mr Fothergills sell it (seed) but am sure there are others.

The moles are probably having to dig new burrows because their old ones are flooded.

Trikidiki, manure is no problem, green or in fact any colour you care to name. We have three geriatric Shetlands who spend most of their time producing it. I think we have the most manured gardens in Cumbria

And this morning, having filled the space with new seeds and some more leek plants, I had a fascinating five minutes watching fresh mole-hills appear in the newly prepared beds. Another call-out for the mole-catcher! Local wild-life really does seem to be extracting the urine this month

That's because of all the manure you use.  An old allotment neighbour used to say he didn't use manure because you got worms then and that attracted the moles.

I get better crops
I get entertained by my mate Mark, the mole-catcher for half an hour

Mooli radish is worth a go if you have not grown it before.
It makes a salad great grated !

 Be prepared to dig deep to extract them !

Surely that should be moley radish?

Well, Mark the mole catcher (mowdie gadgy in N Cumbrian parlance) came to check his traps this morning. He said that in his experience, he'd never killed three moles in such a small area before. The local crow family was pleased, I put the corpses on top of the gate posts and they'd disappeared within seconds along with a decapitated baby rabbit that the cat presented me with
