After rain the soil wears a cap, and the hoe bounces

  1. After rain the soil wears a cap, and the hoe bounces
  2. Maize hasn’t fully come up. After rain the surface sets like a cap and the hoe bounces.
  3. The cap is raindrop smash. The pan under the plough is a different lid. Loosen when the soil is dry enough to crack; wet loosening smears a new lid. Break the cap so the seedling can come out, then probe the pan with a spade before you pick a depth.
