DIY Garden: Add Ons

Product Description:The Blumat Digital Moisture Meter with Cap, Battery, and Coring Tool gives you everything you need to monitor and manage soil moisture in challenging environments. It delivers quick, accurate readings in millibar (mbar), allowing you to track water availability and optimize irrigation.  Low numbers (0–50 mbar) mean the soil is saturated Mid-range (50–100 mbar) is ideal for most grow media High readings (200+ mbar) suggest it's time to water This tool is a must-have for managing and troubleshooting Blumat systems with confidence. What’s Included: Blumat Digital Moisture Meter – Displays soil tension at the press of a button Protective Cap – Shields from moisture and UV exposure Spare Battery (CR2032) – Backup for continuous use Coring Tool – Makes a clean hole for inserting the sensor into dense root zones or compact media Why It Matters:The coring tool ensures proper sensor placement in mature or heavily rooted containers. The spare battery keeps you running, and the cap protects the top of the meter in outdoor conditions—just be careful not to seat the cap directly onto the soil, as trapped humidity may damage the sensor. Note: The top of the meter is not waterproof. Do not submerge or expose it to standing water.

A float valve that stays out of your way and doesn't so easily break or get stuck like the common ones. Instead of the arms like used in toilets, this has a float that goes up and down in a protected cylinder. When the water rises, it automatically turns off the input line. When the water gets used and the float goes down, it turns the water back on.  Use with a gravity rainwater system to fill a reservoir during long times without rain, in gravity backyard systems, in tent grows, and any time you need to fill a reservoir without worrying when to turn the incoming water off — this will do that for you!

This new Blumat input filter fits on the Blumat Bulkhead Through-Hull Tank Connector, inside the reservoir and keeps sediment and leaves from getting into your supply line. It doesn’t fit on the older tank connectors we had before August 2023 though. The new ones (on the right in the picture below) have two tabs on the sides and a 6-sided jut on the input side, where the old ones have two parallel lines. An inexpensive "insurance policy," this could save you quite a bit of headache if your water doesn't always stay clean.

Description PERFECT FOR RAIN BARREL(S) - Ideal for automating gravity-fed irrigation and drip irrigation kit(s)! NO PRESSURE REQUIRED - Unlike competitors, this timer has no minimum pressure requirement! AUTOMATIC GRAVITY WATERING - Unlike rainbird, rachio 3, and orbit timers, this will work w/ gravity! BLUSOAK/EASYSOAK COMPATIBLE - This is an ideal timer for BluSoak and EasySoak Drip Tape systems! WIRELESS, WIFI-FREE, BATTERY POWERED - No wifi, no wires, no excessive EMF, just batteries!   Forget wasteful lawn sprinkler(s), so-called smart sprinkler controller(s), and systems with excessive drip irrigation parts. This timer is so low-fuss and user-friendly that you'll be throwing away your water sprinklers for lawns, rainbird, rachio 3, and orbit systems. This is the perfect battery-powered timer for any garden watering system, but is ideally suited for gravity-fed systems. Other irrigation timer(s) and wifi sprinkler controller(s) require a minimum pressure input to operate. These timers generally require 10-15PSi to function--but not this gravity system timer. It allows for drip system integration from rain barrel(s) or passive gravity-powered garden irrigation system(s). Intervals can be set anywhere from 1 hour to 1 week, with on times capable of being set to 1 minute up to 120 minutes. This could also be used as garden hose timer, water hose timer, watering timer, outdoor hose timer, hose timer outdoor, hose faucet timer, but it will really shine as a drip irrigation timer and/or garden water timer. This timer uses 2x AA batteries, which are not provided. Dials operate the intervals and on-time, and the timer has a 3/4" Female Hose Thread (FHT) Input (perfect for garden hoses), and a 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) output. This will work ideally with BluSoak and EasySoak Drip Tape watering systems.
