    Abstract
    The GROW Observatory (GROW) is a European-wide project engaging thousands of growers, scientists and others passionate about the land. We will discover together, using simple tools to better manage soil and grow food, while contributing to vital scientific environmental monitoring.
    Variables measured air temperature
    soil moisture
    Depths of soil moisture measurements 0.00 - 0.10 m
    Soil Moisture sensors used Flower Power
    Data availability from 2017-02-08 to 2019-10-08
