							| Installed 2 moisture probes today.  These were a big help last year knowing how many gallons of water  it takes to maintain the % of moisture for optimum growth.  The probes are buried on an angle so the moisture % will be averaged from 2-10 inches of soil.  I choose to measure this way as I am only concerned about the root zone of the plant, not whats going on a foot or more below as our soil is sandy loam and drains very fast. |  |  |
