63 +DO NOT bury the sensors using anything other than the supplied ANU PVC housing tube, or a direct burial. Other methods may damage the equipment more than protect it. In particular, burying a sensor in a plastic bag (no matter how well you think you've sealed it) will trap water inside and cause exponentially more damage than a simple direct burial.
