Overview

Soil and water: a source for life!

Details

A simple experiment to show how water retention works in agriculture.

If the soil is barren, a lot of water & top soil washes off.

If the soil is rich in organic matter or even better, has cover crops, then it not only retails water, but also all the nutrients.
