TopBand: soil conductivity

[Tom Frenaye]

KM1H said> Very Poor Soil, I would estimate 1 mS/M.
K0HA said he might see 1000 mS/M when real wet

I'm planning to measure things here.  Are there better ways to measure 
soil conductivity than the info in the ARRL Antenna Book (by W2FMI and 
W2FNQ originally in 4/78 and 3/81 QST)?  Looks like a simple device.
