hagemn - 6/1/2023 18:15 I have seen ground that was field cultivated that sealed the top after a rain and stayed much wetter underneath. It also crusts worse because of the fine silt particles.
Does that crust inhibit water infiltration from future rain events?
I believe it does. We definitely get more soil erosion from runoff on tilled ground. Not sure if that’s because less is soaking in, or because the soil particles are so fine that the water carries it away easier.
