Soil moisture and Soil heat capacity probes placed. Note that moisture probe is only seated 1/2 way in "undisturbed" soil due to many rocks in soil. The hole will be backfilled to surround this probe.

A final view of the soil installation. The site was tapped many times to get loose dirt to fill in any gaps between the rocks. It still would be best to have a good rain before using the data.
