These are some of my data from using soil moisture sensors on my farm. Any ideas what’s my field capacity. I’m trying to figure when to start and stop watering. Feel free to ask for more information. Thanks
What do you water and how? Vegetables or lawn, drip or sprinklers?
It looks like you water every day at 0600, soil moisture goes up and by around 2000 of the same day moisture drops below the blue line. How was that threshold defined?
Would be interesting to know the type of soil you have and the zone you are in.
This is definitely not clay soil, I have clay and it stays wet for days following a watering.
Also, how long do you water for, what’s the flow rate, how much water do you apply per root (assuming this is for your vegetable garden).
