how can i TELL how much water is actually getting into the soil and not just running off??
am continually baffled how it can pour rain for HOURS - yet if I go digging immediately after the rain- in some spots it is "dirt dry" in less than 1/4" (quarter of an inch) depth!
so that has me wondering just how much and how can i tell what does get to the roots?
yes - i know I do need that slow drip irrigation or soaker system.
once i get everything planted I will be installing irrigation but for now Ive got to keep these babies alive till then!
. . .how can I tell how much water gets to the 4" - 6" region of the soil??
