Would someone please explain the point of fallowing ground.
What exactly is this fallow? I remember third grade social studies seeing pictures of Western farmers plowing ground to "save moisture", when we plow to dry and warm up our souls.
Please Clarify; The soil is bare and kept bare even if it had a cover of stubble from the previous crop? Don't hard quick rains compact and seal the surface? When you do get water how does fallow help capture it? Isn't the evaporation worse with the soil worked up?
I know my 45"+ a year and tile drainage is radical different but it's like visiting a foreign country to learn what is getting lost in the words that get thrown around as though everyone knows what they mean. |
