Soil Moisture Checker
Soil Moisture Checker
Do you struggle with knowing when to water your plants?
The Soil Checker tool is perfectly designed to provide clarity in understanding what’s happening below the surface, so you can always tell when it’s time to water.
Simply poke the Checker into your pot to retrieve a small soil sample at different depths. If the soil is still moist, you may want to hold off watering for a little longer. Dry and loose? Then it’s time to give your plant a drink.
Easy to use, take the guesswork out of watering your plants.
Made of wood: the sustainable option, both lightweight and durable. The varnished finish means you can easily wipe it clean.
No more root rot: keep your fingernails clean, and get a better grip on your watering schedule—avoid water sitting unnoticed at the bottom of your pot.
Aerate your soil: loosen your soil and create air pockets each time you use the probe. Great for soil health and happy roots
Hand-milled from wood, with a varnish layer for durability.
Total size: 31 cm / 12″ long, the handle is 5cm / 2″ wide.
How to use your Soil Checker
Gently push the soil checker all the way to the bottom of your pot, then turn it a quarter turn and pull it out again. A little soil will get trapped in the tool, so you can see how moist it really is, all the way to the bottom of your pot.
Every time you test, you also aerate the soil, creating air pockets that are beneficial to your soil health and help it in retaining moisture. Try poking your tool in a different spot of the pot each time for happy, healthy roots and soil.
If your soil is extremely compacted, give it a good soak for half an hour or so and allow to drain fully before you use the probe to loosen it up.
