It’s harvest time! If you’ve stopped irrigating, it’s time to remove your Trellis soil moisture sensors. Removing them yourself can be easy if you follow our step-by-step instructions! We also share a few things you need to keep in mind and cleaning instructions so they can be ready to go for next season!
Tools
Removing your soil moisture sensors only requires a couple of tools!
Water
Cordless drill
Auger drill bit that is over 1” in diameter & 12” or longer
(our installation auger drill bit works great!)
STEP-by-step instructions
Keep in Mind
Take your time if the sensors do not pull up easy when you first try to remove them. If your sensor probe is located in a soil texture with higher clay content, please be extra careful removing the sensor. Removing after a rainfall can also be extremely helpful!
Cleaning your sensors
Rinse your sensors in a bucket of clean water to remove leftover soil, then soak them in clean water for at least 30 minutes. Leave your sensors out to air dry. Once dry, leave in a cool dry place, & they will be ready to install again next planting season!
