Soil Sleuth
Solves the mystery of under or over watering!
The Soil Sleuth uncovers exactly what is happening with the tender root system of your plants. You will know instantly whether to water, make more aeration holes, or leave the plant alone.
Using the Soil Sleuth aerates the soil as it checks for moisture. Plants do poorly without air to the roots. Over watering causes the air to be pushed out of the soil, compacting the soil around the waterlogged roots of the plant, therefore suffocating the plant and causing it to die.
Eliminate over watering - the number one reason most plants die - and ensure your plants remain lush, healthy and give you years of pleasure!FREE POSTAGE: on all orders, always

Grow your houseplant collection with help from The Glasshouse, a social enterprise creating opportunities for women with lived prison experience through horticulture.
Their plants start life in the glasshouses at HM Prison East Sutton Park in Kent, where ex-offenders grow and nurture them. While working on the project, they train for a level 2 RHS horticultural qualification, learning everything from propagation to design. The programme is a stepping stone – away from past mistakes and the prospect of reoffending, towards a fresh start and employment in the future.
As well as the practical horticulture skills, hanging out with plants has some amazing benefits for people involved in the project too – as it can for everyone. Being close to nature and greenery can bring productivity levels up, anxiety levels down, fill the air with more oxygen and be a positive influence in many other ways.
The Glasshouse continues to support women with lived prison experience who join their project beyond their time in the glasshouses too, helping the women keep moving forward upon release. The two things which most often lead to reoffending are lack of secure housing and employment. So, they help in linking people up with job placements and housing.
Add to your houseplant family with one of their lovingly raised plants and know it’s already been a force for good.
