How do Blumat watering stakes work?
How does it work? As the soil dries, the ceramic cone delivers water gradually into the surrounding earth – thereby creating a vacuum within the cone which draws water from the nearby container of water. Once the soil is moistened the Blumat will cease flowing water. It waters your plants only as needed.

How does a Blumat carrot work?
These carrots function as a siphon. The ceramic bits are filled with water, while an attaching tube is placed in a reservoir. As the water in the ceramic is slowly drawn into the soil, the suction pulls water from the reservoir. This creates a continuous and gradual flow of water into the soil or growing media.
Do I need a soil moisture meter?

How do you use a water cone?

Are watering spikes any good?
We already mentioned that terracotta spikes are a great solution if you’re forgetful about watering, but they’re also helpful if you tend to be an over-enthusiastic waterer. The spike provides a slow and steady drip of water right to the roots so you’ll be less likely to drown your plant by overwatering.
Are watering stakes worth it?
You won’t waste nearly as much water when your watering gets right to the plants’ roots. Think of how much water runs off, away from your plant, and evaporates when you water traditionally. Watering stakes funnel your water where it needs to go so your plants will get more nutrition without having to water as often.
How reliable are soil moisture meters?
Most plant moisture meters are pretty accurate; the smaller the intervals on the scale, the more accurate they are. Longer probes can also help increase accuracy, especially in areas where the plants have deep roots or the soil is deep.
