OK - Here's how we did it.

The scene: indoor climate controlled environment.
(A corner of our factory)

The Players:

• One Broadway Series Planter (BC2532)
  (worst case height)
• One IROX system
• Planting medium
• One model xx2323 plant water meter

We fitted this planter with an IROX system. This planter would normally use three wicks, for the purpose of testing we used only one wick. This wick was set off center to help determine the travel of moisture through the soil. We then drilled 1/4" holes at 3" intervals, in three areas; On the wick side, the fill tube side, and between them.

We filled the planter with potting soil. Then, we filled the IROX reservoir using the supplied dipstick to check and maintain its proper level.

We began recording our test data each day at 9 am, using the test meter. We would record the moisture level of the soil at the various depths and locations. We were pleased to note how stable and consistent the moisture reading was in the prime root zone of 5" - 8".
