Few questions for the community, please.

  1. What soil type would you pick? Silty Clay? (Bermuda Grass)
  2. What option would you select for the slope?
  3. I have a 25ft raised garden vegetable bed with a water drip, is there a particular way to set that up? (i.e. soil type, etc) ( 25ft raised garden vegetable bed with a water drip. Similar to this here, but for vegetables) https://www.handyman.net.au/easy-build-raised-bed

Thank you for your awesome help!

Personally, I would likely pick based upon what you wrote:

  1. Silty clay: I would try digging to see about verifying, maybe even a mason jar test
  2. <=3% = flat; <=6% = slight; <=12% = moderate; otherwise = steep. See Smart Cycle and manual cycle and soak features (rachio.com) for that information. I would verify with a level app on the phone that uses the camera and a line to look at various parts of the yard
  3. I have not got to that point yet
