This connects to a pipe that goes under the hay bale. When I hit so much "clay" I thought I might have to pump water out. Well... My clay turned out to be mostly fine loam. It does drain. And the portion I removed has not turned to concrete either... It has loosened a lot. Anyhow, if I thought it would help an alternative use would be to create an oxygen source for the roots, either pumping air down or pouring H202 down under the plant. While this seems extreme, my guess is healthy roots have been a limiting factor for nearly everyone at some point.

Some exceptions... If your last name starts with a Q or if you grew 2106 your first year.
