SAGE is an innovative and highly-visual tensiometer type for soil moisture from a distance for a simple indication of when it’s time to irrigate and when to stop.
- The waterproof display can stay outside for years
- No calibration is required
- Simple to use and easy to install in minutes
- Farm or garden crops, outdoor and indoor plants
Changes in soil moisture are sent to the visual display and activate the flip dots or “coins.” The number of visible yellow coins indicates how wet or dry the soil conditions are.
Includes integrated standard or custom guide based on plant type.

A gypsum block is placed directly in the root zone and within seconds will adjust to the surrounding soil moisture. The changes in soil moisture are sent to the visual display. The number of yellow coins indicates how wet or dry the soil conditions are. All seven coins are flipped for very wet soil, and one or none for very dry.
For guidelines on optimal soil moisture level, consult our plant guide.
- Only two (2) AA batteries for power
- Standard and customized moisture level guide
- Use a any length ¾” PVC pipe. Enable visual reference well above the crop height
- Perfect for rapid soil moisture indication in farm or garden crops, outdoor and indoor plants
