Yesterday Sean, Luke, and I were digging holes at the preserve to put in posts that will have trail directional arrows on them. We have had a couple inches of rain—finally—and the ground is a little softer for these projects.
But as we dug we came to a layer about 8" down that had not received any of this water. It was dry and light-colored, like sand but much harder.
Most plant roots are within a few feet of the surface, but even so, we will need more water to meet their needs.
