What is Soil Moisture Measurement and Control?

Before we talk about specifics, let us take a step back and look at the living system in which we will be working.

The Soil, Water, Plant System

Evapotranspiration moves water out of the system and rain or irrigation replaces it. The soil provides storage for the water. Typically, the plant removes water according to the chart below.

Water is pulled by the roots into the plant. The soil is attracting the water as well. This competition between the plant and soil for the water creates tension. As the water is depleted by the plant, it first takes the water that is most easily released and continues to take water that is more and more tightly held by the soil. This tension can be measured by soil moisture measurement instruments. The higher the tension created, the harder it is for the plant to extract water from the soil. Eventually there will be no more “available water” for the plant. Most landscape plants suffer from just the opposite, no oxygen in the soil because of too much water.

What Is Homeowners Insurance?

Homeowner’s insurance is coverage for your home, contents, and your personal liability. A homeowner’s policy usually covers: (1) Property damage to your home and other detached buildings. (2) Contents and personal belongings. (3) Reimbursements for your additional cost to live at another place if your home is damaged and uninhabitable. (4) Personal liability to protect you from a claim or lawsuit if you are responsible for injuries to others or damage to their property.

What Is Usually Not Covered?

Most homeowner’s policies will not cover vehicles or vehicle stereo equipment, or losses from natural disaster such as flooding, earthquakes or nuclear accidents. You can usually buy coverage for these things in a separate policy.
