Question 1
Why does Hutton soil's fast drainage matter in Elgin specifically, rather than in a lower-rainfall Cape district?
A
Elgin's high rainfall would otherwise waterlog roots and dilute berry concentration without fast-draining soil
B
Fast drainage is only relevant in regions that irrigate heavily, and Elgin relies on irrigation more than Stellenbosch
C
Elgin has the lowest rainfall in the Cape, so drainage capacity is rarely tested
D
Fast drainage prevents frost damage during Elgin's harvest period
E
None of the above
