Poor Drainage Leads To Damage
Most gardeners know
what dry weather does
to plants, but the effects
of excessive water are
less widely recognized.
Plants in low, soggy,
poorly drained sites are
the ones that suffer
during periods of heavy
and freqaent rains, ex
plain extension land
scape horticulturists at
North Carolina State
University.
If plants don't have
good drainage, they can
develop a condition
known as chlorosis. This
is detected by yellow
leaves with green veins.
If left unchecked, the
specialists caution,
chlorosis can kill the
plant.
Plants develop
chlorosis when there is
any interference in the
absorption of iron
through the roots, or
when iron in the plants
is in an unavailable
form. Since poor
drainage causes root
i
damage, the plant can't
use all the available
nutrients.
Lack of oxygen in
poorly drained soil, or in
sandy soil with so little
organic matter that
moisture is not retained,
also plays a part in
causing the ailment.
The time to do
something about the
problem of poor
drainage is before plant
ing. The NCSU special
ists suggest testing the
porosity of the soil by
punching several holes
with a crowbar or other
object. Make the holes
about three feet deep.
Fill them with water
and see how fast it
drains away.
Repeat this several
times. If the water
remains in the holes one
or more days, drainage
is poor.
One way to work with
poorly drained soils is to
build a raised bed, using
a soil mixture of sand,
topsoil and peatmoss in
equal parts. The level of
the bed should be at
least two feet higher
than the original ground
level and at least four
feet wide. That's for a
shrub. For a tree, make
it at least three feet high
and six to 15 feet wide.
You might surround
the soil with bricks or
flagstones to keep it
from washing away.
