Place dishes under each bottle to catch the <br />water which runs through, Next pour one cup of <br />waler into each bottle and time the percolation until <br />water begins dripping into the dish. Based on this <br />experiment. which soil would be the best one tor use <br />in a garden? <br /> <br />Why? <br /> <br /> <br />Mark oul two 3' square plots of tilled soil. Rake both <br />lIat and leave one in this state, Design an irrigation <br />pattern to efficiently supply imaginary crops on the <br />2nd plol. Utilize gravity to help distribute the water. <br />Check the effectiveness of your system by running a <br />hose at the same inlel point tor each plot.
