Consistent Sensor Depth (About 6 inches or 15cm)
Since three soil moisture sensors will be placed around this plant it is important that each is at the same depth so fair comparisons can be made. While the exact depth is open for some debate 6 inches (15cm) was selected as this marks a good depth of the same growing substrate/compost mix.
Also since drip tape is the main source of irrigation the sensors are also installed half way between the lines. In addition, there will also be a tall bamboo stake placed near the spot the sensor is buried to not only make it easier to find but to know where the data is coming from.
