Moisture Meter

This moisture meter was based on a circuit from Forrest Mim’s excellent “Getting Started in Electronics” book. It uses an Ampere meter (not pictured) via a amplifying transistor to display the conductivity of the soil in a planter. And it works! This setup may be the basis for our primary plant sensors for ITPlant.
