How can I tell if the soil in my garden is well-drained? The capacity of soil to provide even moisture and be well-drained at the same time is critical to healthy plant growth. Good drainage, in both summer and winter, increases a plant's hardiness and vigor. A simple test is to dig a hole approximately 1 foot across and 1 foot deep. Fill it with water. If it drains in less than one hour, your drainage is probably acceptable for most plants. Soils with poor drainage can be improved by tilling in several inches of composted organic material twice a year. Which famous North American landmark is slowly moving backwards?
