Please see attached calibration instructions together with a few handy tips about our SoilWatch 10 sensor.
The other attachment is the spreadsheet for easy calibration. Just enter your data points and get the calibration curve.

Soil-specific calibration for sandy clay soil below.





This calibration will fit most mineral soils quite well.

Wow Pinolec, you did an amazing job. I’ll try to follow your instructions next week and let you know how it went.
Thanks a lot!

In my garden, I add organic matter to the soil every season.  Will this have a significant impact on the soil moisture readings?

It should not have a significant impact on calibration. Just make sure that no big lumps of organic matter touching sensor. Mix the soil well around the sensor to be uniform and representative of the area you gonna measure.

Hi Piotr,

As you have mentioned the VWC meassured in a container, instead of this approach, we want to directly measure the VWC in the Soil near the active root zone of the plant, will this math can applicable with soil Watch 10? And for how much radius in the soil, this sensor is sensitivised to capture the readings.

Thanks,
Shiva.
