Re: The Kitchen Garden Sloth: Gardening without fatigue more than Bio

I may be wrong but it seems to me to have read somewhere that in case of urine intake, it was necessary to stop before the formation of fruits? always a little apprehension with the urine, fear that it has repercussions on the taste of the vegetables ... The remark is it seems to me quite relevant ... ...

Re: Moisture meter vs. blood pressure monitor

A small "bubble" of air does not change anything, as long as there is water at the level of the bulb ... So a long rod is more You need as little air as possible, because like air is compressible, its volume increases and decreases according to the pressure, suddenly the ground can suck a volume of water q ...

Re: Moisture meter vs. blood pressure monitor

But I do not understand: if the circuit is waterproof (and it must be), there is necessarily a balance between the force with which the water is sucked from the tensio towards the ground and that with which it is retained by the "resistance" of the mano Perfect tightness, and durable does not exist ...

Re: Moisture meter vs. blood pressure monitor

You can divert watering "carrots", the difficulty is the tightness, because at 700mbar, it sucks hard and there is the risk of emptying the tensiometer. I did some to validate the feasibility (it works), I must now re-study them to make them more reliable (held in time) but in ...

Re: Moisture meter vs. blood pressure monitor

This type of probe is one shot, instantaneous measurement, you immerse your probe, you read a measurement, you remove your probe. There is no question of leaving it permanently in the ground and having a follow-up because the metal parts will oxidize and lose sensitivity. In addition, on a "con ...

Re: Moisture meter vs. blood pressure monitor

Be careful though with Didier's remark, when closing the tensiometer, if there is no or very little air, as the volume is reduced as the cap / manometer is screwed in again, a times screwed enough to be waterproof (at first it leaks around the thread), we end up com ...

Re: Moisture meter vs. blood pressure monitor

When I say "general public" (in quotes) it means that you plug in and it works, without having to go and check in the code why it doesn't work. For the moment, at home, I plug in, I run a few command lines to start the server, and if there is a problem I know ...

Re: Moisture meter vs. blood pressure monitor

If someone wants to "tweak", I am willing to pay for the gear and then assess the reliability. I am in the process of "calibrating" a pot with a strawberry plant with weighing and comparison with the tensions of the tensiometer ... The idea is to obtain the curve giving the soil humidity (quantity of water ...
