Ech2o Soil Moisture Probe
The Ech2o soil moisture probe measures the dielectric constant of the
soil in order to find its volumetric water content. Since the dielectric
constant of water is much higher than that of air or soil minerals,
the dielectric constant of the soil is a sensitive measure of
water content. The soil moisture probe has a very low power requirement
and high resolution. This allows you the ability to take as
many measurements as you want (even hourly) over a long period
of time (like a growing season, for example), with minimal battery
usage.
