Do you use soil temperature or moisture probes on ANY type station?

BurnsvilleWeather:
I'm just curious how many people are actually using soil temperature or moisture probes on your weather stations? NOT LIMITED TO JUST WEATHER DISPLAY. (Just best spot at the time I posted it)!

I have all 4 moisture sensors but 2 temperature probes. In the garden (raised bed with soil amendments) I have 3 moisture sensors. 24" with temp 9" with temp, and 3". The 4th moisture sensor is placed 6 inches down in normal unused soil. The reason for this is because the raised bed is irrigated on a regular basis. Getting an idea of the soil around the raised bed gives me an idea of how the land around the raised bed effects the avalible moisture in the raised bed. For example if the ground around the raised bed is dry (50-200) I know the moisture inside the raised bed will become depleted quickly because the ground around is sucking that moisture up. Weather Display shows all 4 sensors on the live graph showing me how they correlate.

Yep! Here's my thread reviewing the system on loan from Davis. I recently picked up a second station with two additional probes.

[EDIT] I use "Show unread posts" so I didn't notice what forum this is in. I am not using the Soil Temp/Moisture station with Weather Display.

No problem, not just limited to WD, it's open to all.

I've been thinking about the idea of buying a temperature station with 12 Ft probe and installing it in the alley behind my house to monitor road temperatures. Should be intresting if I decide to do it.
