Top soil is typically very permeable because it is constantly being puncutured by roots and traversed by organisms such as worms. Water drains quickly through top soil but much more of it is absorbed by layers of clay found deeper in the soil.
What will soak up water in yard?
In order to make your lawn more amenable to water absorption, work organic matter into your soil. Garden compost, leaf mold and manure will all open the soil up and create more minute channels through which water can escape. Dig. For hardpan problems, a shovel may be the best solution.
Which soil best absorbs water?
Loam Soil is best. A combination of sand, silt, and clay particles, this soil absorbs water readily and is able to store it for use by plants. Loam absorbs water at a rate between 1/4 and 2 inches per hour. Sandy Soil, because it has very large spaces, absorbs water at a rate of more than 2 inches per hour.
