A test for soil moisture is to:
1. weigh a brown paper bag
2. add a sample of your soil to that bag
3. weigh the total weight of the bag plus the soil
4. put the bag of soil in an oven for 24 hours at 200 degrees
5. reweigh the bag
subtract the final/dry weight of the bag from the initial soil bag weight and that number will be the weight of moisture that has left the soil.
