Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor SKU:SEN0193

I am trying to make a scale for this sensor which can estimate the volume percentage of water in the soil. I've done a couple of measurements for different percentages (0%, 5%, 10% in steps of 5% to 50%, at which time it turns into very wet mud). I've now got a trendline which seems to be lineair. Should this indeed be a lineair line, or did I do something wrong?
