Sounds like you have your hands full with the multiple sites you are working on.

Unfortunately, tillage/daikon radishes tend to smell like natural gas during decomposition.
This would not normally be a problem but about 3 years ago a gas well and compressor station were installed about a half mile away.

I have used daikon before and they work quite well.
Turnips and rutabagas accomplish the same goal, but it takes 2 to 3 years to do what daikon do in 1
