- Description
Know when your soil needs water.
The surface can look dry while the soil below is still wet. The Blumat Digital Moisture Meter measures moisture tension at root depth, so you can base watering decisions on a reading.
Battery included. The installed battery should last for years.
- See how your soil dries between waterings.
- Check the effect of irrigation adjustments.
- Use with hand watering or automatic irrigation.
What does the number mean?
The display reads in millibars (mbar). Lower readings mean wetter soil. As soil dries and holds its water more tightly, the reading rises.
Follow readings over time to learn how your soil behaves. The meter measures conditions around its ceramic tip, so depth, placement, and soil contact matter.
Do I need a Blumat watering system? +
No. The meter works independently of your watering system. It measures moisture tension; it does not control water flow.
How do I start? +
Prepare the meter, fill it with water, and install the ceramic tip with good soil contact. Allow time for the meter to respond to the surrounding soil before using the reading to adjust watering.
How do I care for it? +
Keep the electronic head dry and above the soil. Do not submerge it or leave it in standing water.
