Automatic irrigation systems normally produce higher yields while dramatically decreasing labor costs. Expensive and complicated computerized systems can accomplish this, but only for an extremely higher cost while not working as well. We started off with only Blumat Classics mainly used for houseplants, discovered how to use them in Grow Rooms, then backyards and small farms; now in large commercial operations where the ROI is hard or impossible to match.

When making a hole for a Blumat sensor, most garden trowels and tools will make too big of a hole. This one - designed for specifically doing just that - is only 1" wide (11"+ long) and makes that job easy while disrupting roots as little as possible. Also great for any planting job when you want to make a small hole or dig out weeds while disrupting the soil as little as possible.

Keep your hands off my Blumats! This Blumat Protective cap prevents unintentional adjustments to the moisture level dial. Great for fending off children, pets, wild animals, or well intentioned employees.It takes some time and some skill to dial Blumats in just right. After you find the ideal soil moisture content, you adjust the valve based on growing medium, size of plants and pot, number of distribution dripper, temperatures, etc.So after finding the ideal setting, it can be very frustrating if a young child or curious co-worker comes along and plays with them, changing your settings. This protective cap will make that much less likely to happen - just snap on top of the valve dial. It comes off again but not too easily, enough to dissuade misguided tampering.

DescriptionThis kit provides an easy, fast, and water-saving way to water a medium or larger size bonsai pot. No timers, batteries, or electricity required! This system utilizes a Blumat carrot (sensor) to automatically water and monitor the moisture levels in your bonsai medium. On top of this, there are 6 additional distribution drippers in order to spread water out across different areas on the surface of the pot. This kit also comes with a quick connect with valve for easy moving of plants for pruning, sun, etc. Water source/reservoir needs to be above the garden for a gravity system. For a pressure system you will need a faucet or garden hose and a Blumat Pressure Reducer.

This replacement brown cap is what goes on top of the Tropf Blumat sensor and is essential for the function of the Blumat carrot. This small brown cap allows you to adjust the flow rate of the Blumat, but more importantly also serves as a critical function in making sure to stop the water when the carrot senses that it is wet enough. If you lose or break this small essential piece, your Bluamt sensor will no longer serve its function so make sure to replace it with this replacement piece.

For more information regarding Capillary Mats, click here. At first glance, these may seem expensive. If you're using them as intended though - in trays with capillary mats, they're totally worth it. This is a growing system popular in Europe that's only slowly making its way into the USA. These fit on top of a capillary mat with perforated black foil on top of that to prevent algae and other things from growing. The surface blumat turns water on and off that spreads moisture through the felt and soaks up from the bottom. It works great with fabric pots and plastic ones with a flat bottom and extra holes drilled in, but not plastic pots with a big lip - the mat needs to be touching the bottom of the pot. Good for pots up to 2 gallon and larger for plants with deep but not surface roots. In a 5 gallon pot, the moisture will only go up about half way, so with that size it's better to use a regular Blumat sensor. One of these plus distribution drippers will supply enough water for 5 square meters of tray. The electronic version can supply enough for thousands of plants as long as the surface is flat (use a level to make sure). Capillary Mat NOT INCLUDED
