Greetings to all soil hydroscholars.

I seek information on the `Aquaterr' range of soil moisture probes
(spike-type probes, which are pushed into the soil for quick spot 
readings, and apparently based on a capacitance principle).

* First, I wish to contact the US supplier, and would appreciate a 
contact address (preferably email).   I have tried to contact this 
firm using outdated brochures, but without success.
* Second, I would be grateful for comments on the utility of these 
probes, specifically for use in turfgrass or tree irrigation (i.e. 
municipal and recreational use, rather than in research). 
Thankyou,

Graeme Buchan, NZ
