Gardening Tip of the Day

  • How well soil drains is critical to gardening success. Here is an easy to follow method to evaluate your garden.

    1. Remove both ends of a large 48-ounce juice can.
    2. Dig a 4-inch-deep hole in the garden.
    3. Set the can in the hole and backfill around it with soil.
    4. Fill the can with water<BR>
    5. Check to see how much of the water has been absorbed after 1 hour.

    If the level drops about 2 inches, you’re in good shape. If the level drops more than 4 or 5 inches, you need to add organic matter (compost). If the level drops less than 1 inch, dig a pond or build raised beds. The soil has very poor drainage.
