About,
"Hi all - can anyone tell me if there is a depth in ordinary soil that is
too deep for radials.
I have a field which is currently growing wheat - when we harvest this year
I am thinking of digging down approx 1m and laying a new radial system.
At this depth when I plough I will not touch the radials system - in fact 1m
is really overkill unless I use the subsoiler which may get a bit close."
Thanks from Dave G3RCQ
Dave,
Yes. Most books recommend no deeper than a "few inches" because if radials
are beneath very much soil, every benefit of using radials is lost through
losses above them.
