This stops the flow of water into the tray. The set level is typically around 20mm, which is enough water to wet the whole capillary mat without leaving it submerged in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePassive Feeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e This system is a form of passive plant feeding, where the plants draw up water as needed through their roots.

By placing Blusoak on the ground alongside the plants, the drip tape slowly emits water into the soil that gradually is absorbed onto the root zone. Because moisture levels are kept at an optimal range, the microbial soil life is allowed to thrive creating healthy plant growth.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater leaks out of the tape at an extremely slow rate, enabling efficient deep-water penetration.

Once set up the sensitive ceramic cone monitors the soil, and as the soil dries, it opens a valve in the Blumat Sensor to allow water to flow through the drip line. The sensor is adjustable, allowing you to set your preferred moisture level for your soil.

Using more sensors is more expensive and a bit more work as you have to dial in more sensors in each pot, but can give some growers peace of mind if they have experienced blockages with other drip systems (usually due to high water hardness).
