Temperature and Relative Humidity
The data logger also tracks the temperature and relative humidity. The units position was initially not ideal for these two readings as the main goal was soil moisture so the placement was adjusted to provide more plant representative readings. Putting this on a bamboo stake below the leaf canopy seemed to provide the best readings. What was challenging was the limited placement options due to the fact that all of the soil moisture cords needed to converge in the same point.
Since the goal was accurate soil moisture the placement was set to be ideal for soil moisture reading and these two additional data points were bonus. However, it still seemed the relative humidity was consistently higher than expected. (Data table on following post.)
