6/15:
Started processing these soils at about 1815 today -- rather late for samples taken about 1100, so might be a bit too dry.
Dry weights taken 21 hours later.
Comparison sensor measurements read by eye from WWW plot.

In both cases, should have driven the corer further in (collar was flush, but apparently had compacted) -- use 0-2cm in both cases. a.soil also still had some litter and b.soil had some roots.

A bit drier than before. Mike Daniels helped. I think we got the whole 3cm in the top sample, though the soil may have been compacted in the process.
7/3: 1015/1025
A bit wetter due to some rain last night. Note that the wetness profile probably isn't uniform, though Qsoils did show an uptick. b 0-3cm probably was compacted too much (too dense). Scales have been moved into base trailer (from AABC lab).
