Our Condition Monitoring Star of the Week was posted on December 28th by observer with station number SC-CR-88 in Charleston County, SC. We chose this report because it offers great detail about soil moisture at their location offering us a good understanding of how wet conditions are in their area. What are some indications of soil moisture when conditions are wet, dry or normal in your area? When wet, does the ground become very soggy or do trees topple over when precipitation is abundant over the long period of time? Does the ground crack or become dusty when dry? Observe and record how weather changes soil moisture in your area. This is a wonderful learning opportunity and a great way to enhance your reports. Way to go SC-CR-88!

With more than a couple of inches of rain in the last week or so, the
ground appears saturated enough that even modest amounts of rainfall of a
quarter inch or so will rather quickly run off into the storm water
ditches rather than soak in.
Soil moisture in the garden is more than adequate and the compost is too
wet.
