[QUOTE="JohnGalway, post: 7403044, member: 204"] If water hangs around and stagnates anaerobic conditions will form in soil which means bad stuff happens there, or if soil is waterlogged part of the year and maybe relatively not waterlogged the rest of the year that's not much good either. Sometimes - man made? - drainage is necessary to prevent or lessen those scenarios. To hold water in a beneficial way keeping soil aerobic, soil would need protection in the form of living plant cover or litter of some kind to reduce/prevent evaporation. Then the soil should have the right biology in it to build structure, structure will hold water, allowing it to infiltrate and move through the soil profile more slowly. Less of the flood/drought scenario in well structured soil. But, well structured soil won't exist in anaerobic conditions. Or so I am told :unsure: [/QUOTE]
