Tool Tip: Soil Auger
Why have an auger? Our potato, alfalfa, comfrey, and other plants provide higher yields with good, even soil moisture levels at 36-inches deep. It does not take extra water to achieve this, just the regular daily watering (see pp. 92 in How to Grow More Vegetables (2017)) once deep-soil moisture levels has been reached. To determine if we have achieved the deep-soil moisture, we core down in 6-inch increments and place the result on a tarp in sequential order according to depth. It's easy to see how moisture levels change in each sample, and whether you have good moisture at 36 inches.
