Sure enough, they'll frequently be kicking the top off (probably a result of recent water not having permeated), but the g/s doesn't just measure the top of the ground per se.
Seem to spend much of my time defending the g/s on here, but it's the best, most accurate and independent guide we've got - so until something better comes along - why not make full use of it?
