Planting bv the Law: Understanding a key law of soil physics is critical to providing optimal irrigation for improved plant growth

摘要

Everywhere you turn, there seem to be more and more laws. But knowledge of some laws can be beneficial and even useful. When planting plants grown in containers in the landscape or field, Darcy's law of soil physics directly ap-plies. Darcy's Law summarized: Water moves readily from a coarse-textured material to a finer texture. Water will not move from a fine texture to a coarse texture until saturation.
