Solidifying the Soil for Moisture Control
Agronomy note discusses how rolling and packing soil affects capillary moisture. Rolling increases surface moisture while drying deeper layers, with benefits only in semi arid zones if subsoil water can be spared. Sub surface packers and weighted disks help firm the bed, leaving a mulch and aiding seed moisture concentration.
