We've got a bunch of these huge things growing and can't sell them all. Can I ferment them - and how do I do it? I've never knowingly fermented anything and I think it's time to jump on the bandwagon.

I haven't done this myself, but I am very fond of kimchee, and this looks good (to me

Both look good. Thanks for the quick response.
Of course, the second recipe (the mild pickles) aren't really a ferment, just a vinegar pickle. Google daikon pickles, and I'm sure you will find more.
Actually, if you have access to "Nourishing Traditions", Sally Fallon has a recipe in there for pickled daikon:
3# daikon radish, peeled and grated
1 Tbls. sea salt
4 Tbls whey
Place everything in a bowl, mix well, and pound (meat hammer or something similar; maybe the bottom of a jar) until juices are released. Place radish into a wide mouth quart jar, and press down to remove air, and to bring the juice level over the top of the radish mixture. The top of the mixture should be at least an inch below the top of the jar. Cover tightly, and leave at room temp. for about 3 days before transferring to cold storage.
