Travo site observation and soil assessment

Baseline site reconnaissance subdividing the property into functional areas and reporting soil texture, compaction, humus thickness, and microbiology observations. Summarises local climate using referenced Weatherspark climatology and records rainfall of 901 mm. Provides the evidence for high clay content, low organic matter and limited infiltration that shaped the swale-plus-mulch strategy, and it motivates aromatic shrub strips and initial compost inputs. These observations feed the site information and constraints sections of the factsheet.
