this year here in Greece we have a strange phenomenon. even if it rains a good bit, after at the most 2 days the soil is as dry as if it had no water for a week. first i thought it was my soil and that it has a problem, but yesterday a friend of mine told me the same observation in her garden, which is some 20 km away and has very different conditions to mine. well, no idea, why this is , but i think we will find out sometime or a solution to this.
