Default Radish root damage

"Davy" wrote ...

This year my radishes have grown well but are badly
damaged by a worm/maggot.
I thought that the usual maggot is not normally a
problem in the Spring. Anybody else had problems this
year?
I wont use pesticides cos no point in growing own
vegetables if full of poison; dont want to cover the
crop cos lines of radishes look nice in the veg beds but
lines of fleece do not.



Are you sure it's not Flea Beetle?
