Hi,

I am seeing 20%+ increases in soil moisture when there is no rain and I am not watering and also 20%+ reductions in moisture directly after watering which seems counterintuitive. Is this normal? Can anyone explain what is going on to me? Thank you!

Mike

What is an ideal soil moisture level? My new Netro Whisper is measuring 83% down from 88% 3 hours ago. Is this too moist? It is average raised bed plant soil. I have googled and found some sites saying no more than 45% and some sites say no less than 70% so I am very confused!
