The soil sample is in the lab, the weather has been very nice and both patches have just been subsoiled. Sub soiling is the breaking up of soil that has hardened over winter. It also breaks up the hard pan that is created by the repeated rototilling of the soil. The arrow in the picture points to the subsoiling tine that goes down 18Inches . This is at least 6 to 12" below the hard pan. This helps the movement of water both up and down depending on the situation. Wishing everyone a great year and broken records.
