The folks from Aquaspy came last week to install the moisture probes. These probes monitor moisture levels in the soil profile to a 5’ depth and send that information in to our database every 15 minutes. The data will then be mapped to show where water is being removed by the roots within the soil profile and confirm the depth of rooting. This type of technology helps us in our research on Genuity SmartStax and that data will show how those plants are better able to mine for water and nutrients.
Photos of the moisture probes are below, both of it being set up and the finished product.
Next week will be extremely busy as yet more demos will be planted and construction will begin on some of the showcase structures. Keep checking back for updates, and don’t forget you can see it all from the comfort of your own home on our webcam!
The show is getting closer and so much is left to do; stay tuned to the blog for the latest updates!
