[QUOTE="binky, post: 25635, member: 490"] I would suggest using an extendable rod to dive deeper into soil where it is less likely to dry out - I like to try and hit bedrock if possible!!!! There are also water retaining crystals and other compounds to help maintain moisture, but have never used these so can't really comment. The scenario you have raised here is the reason why Ze at the rod is recommended to be less than 100 ohms so in theory even a drought would not impair performance. The actual allowable Ze is 500 ohms, but have never come a result that is so high so far Pray Pray [/QUOTE]
