It didn’t seem to interfere. Although I did have 1 over water incident 2/3rds or the way through maybe the roots prevented it from sensing saturation. After I reset the dial it was fine hmmmm.

this is my first time hearing about blumat. can you describe which tote resevoir you use, and how you connect the reservoir to blumat? I saw this kit:

But it looks like one still need to get the reservoir the tubing/connectors for the reservoir?

I got mine off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IQXFBWA/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_1_w

Thank you! You have totally answered my question!

This topic came up on a sub that has nothing in the world to do with gardening and I wanted info from folks like you.

But, someone suggested this watering system and to me, it looks perfect:

In the desert, it is so hot and so dry that I am finding constant watering (drip type watering) is far superior to watering any other way.

I grow 4 plants in a 4x4 tent with this kit.

I use their bucket for the water supply

I installed this float cutoff inside the bucket and hooked it up to my reverse osmosis machine so I don’t have to keep refilling the bucket manually.

Here’s the reverse osmosis machine I use. I get notices about lead contamination in my city’s water so it was important to me to not have that go into a plant I consume.

Check out blumats. Ceramic sensors that open up when soil dries to a set point. You’d just need a hole in the bucket to let a feedline in. Line connects to a bucket.
