Yeah, Retaining Soil is pretty useless until you get to Deluxe Retaining Soil which stays watered permanently. Same goes for Sprinklers which are almost useless until at least Quality and optimally Iridium level. But at least those are predictable where they water, Retaining Soil is only somewhat useful if you still have a basic Watering Can that's never been upgraded but that still doesn't make the soil randomness any less annoying.

Delux retaining soil does not stay watered once the season passes. Tested on 3 patches. When it changed from autumn to winter, patch disappeared along with crops. Does not stay watered permanently
