<plantfyi-glossary slug="drainage"></plantfyi-glossary>Definition
The movement of water through soil and away from the root zone. Good drainage prevents waterlogging and oxygen depletion in the root zone. Drainage is improved by adding coarse organic matter, installing drainage channels, or growing on raised beds.
