i have some drill bit extensions and i want to drill small deep holes in the clay under where the plants will be, like 1 meter deep. i think that there is water all year round deeper than 50 cm, and 1 meter deep there will be lots of water under the plant to keep them unsupervised all summer, perhaps i can even make use a string to wick water to the soil above. most of all, it will be fun! it's like digging into bluetack down there. its clay. ![Very Happy :D :D](/styles/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
only challenge is rocks in the clay, if it's too rocky, then it will be tough to get 1 meter deep. i will let you know.
the equipment is 20 dollars on ebay, then you have to angle grind/saw little wide notch marks where the screws go to stop the drill bit ever possibly getting stuck underground. dont get a magnetic extensions![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
i have forest clay which is full of old roots and it just needs a couple of pints of compost for the plant to get big enough to find lots of root channels, and with a well under the plant it would be great.
