Electric Conductivity (EC)

Welcome to the forum. I find it interesting, folks like myself that didn't really like school, voluntering to study. The fact that you know some of the questions you will have to face does show you have been doing some thinking.
It's easier for us to let you know where you can find the answers to your questions, if we know a little about your plan, Especially, the size of the area you plan to use. Care to share your plan, so far? VV
