Should be just enough. Plant at 2 inches deep and Just go wide (4-6ft) on the row & column spacing to allow them to spread out their roots horizontally.

Fold the corn stubble back into the soil at the end of the year to (slightly) increase soil depth for next year. Probably too shallow to do radishes as a cover crop for the first couple years. But you should be able to build things up eventually.

Great tip, but I like the daikon radish idea better

LMAO, that's what I get for not refreshing before I post.
