Kimberley 30.1 20 Cleaning requires extra attention in your installation & retrieval plans if sites are:
Kimberley 22.1 21
Kimberley 30.1 22 * silt or clay soil
Kimberley 17.1 23 * an infection risk (such as farms, outbreak zones)
Kimberley 11.1 24 * scheduled for >5 retrievals per team, per day.

Kimberley 30.1 32 For now, disposable barrier bags are an option for difficult sites in Australia. Nodes can be installed inside the bags to reduce soil contact. We've seen good results on flooded clay sites with 10um bags— the type used for produce.

Kimberley 30.1 35 Single-use plastics can not be used in AoNZ, and are being phased out in some Australian states. If you are considering this option for your experiment, contact us for help navigating:
