We often get asked how to use soil moisture readings in a practical way. We push data for many clients to third party providers who our customers have contracted to provide them with management advice on such things as when and how much to irrigate. However some of our customers want to figure out how to irrigate themselves or even if they use a third party provider they are interested in how the decisions are made. We have put together two short information sheets on this subject.
