[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 838008, member: 9115"] The trouble with trying to go through the layer of IVb soil here is, it is 100' or so deep! Not everywhere, but in places. You're right the stained soil, they call it mottled, is from lack of oxygen. Water just simply sits there, to work it wet with a subsoiler would make groves in the ground that would just stay open till freezing and thawing would close them, till then water would run down them and make ditches. Not only does it stay wet, but in a prolonged drought it gets concrete hard if it dries out. Imagine a backhoe able to only make grooves in the ground with the teeth. If the farmers try to no-till plant when too wet you can walk along the furrows and still see the seed a month later. We plow in a type of sewer line 6" deep and if we do it wet, it stays open. Areas of the world are really different, thanks for the feedback. I'm a learnin' gs [/QUOTE]
