Measure moisture where the roots grow. Use the Blumat Digital Moisture Meter to see how your soil dries between waterings and check the effect of irrigation changes.
Hand watering: track how wet the soil gets and how far it dries between waterings.
Automatic irrigation: check whether water is reaching the soil where you need it.
Blumat systems: see the effect of adjustments instead of relying on how the surface looks.
Just need the meter?
Choose Moisture Meter Only above. Every option includes the same meter. The other options add accessories; they do not change how it measures soil moisture.
What does the reading mean?
The meter measures soil moisture tension in millibars (mbar): how tightly the soil holds its water. Lower readings mean wetter soil. As the soil dries and water becomes harder to extract, the reading rises.
Use readings over time to learn how your potting mix or living soil behaves between waterings. Placement and soil contact matter: a reading describes conditions around the ceramic tip, rather than the entire bed or pot.
What comes with each option?
Moisture Meter Only The meter without the optional accessory bundle.
Meter + Protective Cap Adds a cover for the electronic head.
Meter + Cap + Battery Adds the protective cap and a spare CR2032 3-volt battery.
Meter + Cap + Battery + Coring Tool Adds the cap, spare battery, and a tool for making the installation hole.
Do I need a Blumat watering system?
No. Use the meter with hand watering or automatic irrigation. It measures soil moisture tension; it does not turn irrigation on or off.
Placement and getting a useful reading
Prepare and install the meter using the setup video below. Position the ceramic tip at the depth you want to monitor, with good contact between the ceramic and surrounding soil.
Allow the meter to settle after installation before using the reading to make watering decisions. The water inside the meter needs time to respond to the surrounding soil.
Keep depth and placement consistent when comparing readings. Follow changes over time rather than making a large irrigation adjustment from one isolated reading.
Care, water protection, and resetting
Keep the electronic head dry. Do not submerge it or leave it in standing water.
If using a protective cap, keep it above the soil. Seating it into the soil can trap humidity around the electronic head.
Once we got the Blumat watering system dialed in, the plants basically water themselves. Hand watering isn’t something we have to think about anymore, and it’s taken a lot of work off our plate while keeping moisture consistent.

Adding Blumats to our living soil beds has been one of the best things we have done for consistency and efficiency in watering. With one of the most time consuming and labor intensive tasks off the table, we now have more time to work with the plants themselves, allowing us to focus on canopy, environment, and plant health.

We’ve been using Blumat in our rooms and couldn’t be happier. Blusoak in flower and capillary mats in veg have made watering incredibly consistent and stress-free. The plants stay happy, everything runs smoothly, and we’re saving a huge amount of time day to day. Simple, reliable and super effective!

Living soil comes down to consistency, and getting Blumat dialed in across a double-tier facility changed everything for us. We’re now seeing repeatable moisture across thousands of square feet, with healthier biology, stronger roots, less labor, bigger canopies, heavier yields, and way less time spent chasing drybacks.

Blumats have changed our farms daily life drastically! It’s taken 6 hour hand watering daily to 30 minute quick teas twice a weeks. It’s an absolute Godsend! Much Love To Sustainable Village.
