Why will the bulb glow when the soil is dry ? And not when it is wet even though when wet soil offers less resistance.

Hi,
Please take a look at the explanation for "Q: How does the circuit actually work? What is the circuit diagram?" (about half way down the page)

Hope this helps. Please post again if there's anything else we can help explain, etc...
Good Luck and Have fun with your experiment!
