Soil Heating Cables Pattern

This shows the basic pattern that is used to lay out the heating cables. While there is an inline thermostat an external one will be used making this exact pattern less important.

Reason for the external thermostat is to not only know what the temperature actually is in the root zone, but to ensure it does not get too hot and is under a reliable controller. In the past the inline thermostats have failed resulting in plant damage due to overheating of the root zone. This all-in-one live sensor and controller (which will be shown in the future posting) help keep conditions regulated and consistent.
