Tensiometer Installed

Today I installed a 12" Irrometer tensiometer in the SW corner of the Zutano avocado drip line.  This device is designed to measure the force required for the roots to pull water out of the soil.  When the soil is at field capacity, the tensiometer reads zero.  I will monitor this meter daily and record gauge readings to determine when to irrigate.
