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 Backfilling 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 /> DepthDepth <br /> as Required as Required <br /> Slurry slurry <br /> Figure 5a. Figure 5b. <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 /> SOILMOISTURE EQUIPMENT CORP. 10 \® <br /> P.O.
