Hello,
	I have an underground irrigation system in my yard and 
as a result cannot tell how wet different parts of the yard are. My 
question is does anybody know how I can buid some sort of moisture 
sensors to insert at different locations in my yard ? My neatest idea
would be to have these moisture sensors placed a few inches under the 
ground and transmit into my house via telemetry. Wow, then I could hook this 
up to my mac and have a graphic representation of the moisture content
in the yard. But I am problably being silly. Thanks for any responses.
