The pH level of the soil should be around 7 (neutral), and you should try to mix in some sand into the fresh dirt. Radishes like a sandy loam to do well in. I plant them quite often because they are "easy" to grow.... A great website I've found for growing, pest deterring, etc. is
Radish Garden - Healthy Snacks . Hope this helps!
