The article explains how downward water movement, or percolation, varies by soil type and particle size, with six soil samples showing faster percolation in coarser soils and slower in fine clays. It also covers capillary action drawing water upward, and how ploughing and soil loosening affect water retention and plant access in dry and wet districts.
At a fortnightly Australian Natives Association gathering in Pew Hall on Thursday the president Mr KR BK Merrifield led a large attendance.
