Has Your Soil Stopped Absorbing Water?
Lawn Care
If your soil is no longer absorbing water, it’s likely it has become hydrophobic. Hydrophobic soils repel water which will lead to many problems in your lawn and garden.
Hydrophobia is caused by decomposition of organic matter which leaves a waxy coating on the soil particles. After dry weather or when your soil becomes dehydrated, the hydrophobic surface is exposed.
Regular watering will prevent hydrophobia but if it occurs, it’s best to treat it before it can cause great damage to your yard.
