will provide a reasonably uniform backfill soil for filling in around <br />the Soil Water Sampler. Soilmoisture has suitable soil augers for <br />this purpose (230 Series augers). There are other methods for in- <br />stalling the Soil Water Sampler to be used, largely dictated by the <br />type of soil you are dealing with and the tools available. The pri- <br />mary concern in any method of installation is that the porous ce- <br />ramic cup of the Sampler be in tight, intimate contact with the soil <br />so that soil water can move readily From the pores of the soil through <br />the pores in the ceramic cup and into the Soil Water Sampler. <br />Preparing The Hole Using a After the hole has been cored, mix sifted soil with water to make a <br />Slurry and Baelcfilling The slurry which has a consistency of cement mortar. This slurry is <br />Hole then poured down to the bottom of the cored hole to insure a good <br />soil contact with the porous ceramic cup (see Figure 5a). <br />Depth <br />as Rec <br />Depth <br />as Req <br />Slurry <br />Immediately after the slurry has been poured, insert the Soil Wa- <br />ter Sampler down into the hole so that the porous ceramic cup is <br />completely embedded in the soil slurry (see Figure 5b). <br />SOIIMOISTURE EQUIPMENT CORP. 10 ^° <br />P.O.
