DRAINING Problem.

Surplus water should be removed
to make the soil more open or porous
If water is allowed to stand on the
surface the natural air movement in
the soil is stopped, oxygen shut off
and plants soon die. A wet soil is
always a cold soil so drainage is a
necessity in order to increase soil
soil warmth. Wet places on the farm
are often comparatively level and can
be easily worked If the surplus water
is removed. Hence these places are
an economic waste.
