I've just received a Harvst WaterMate Pro which I intend to use on a 47sqm no-dig vegetable patch outdoors ( so not in a polytunnel or greenhouse ). The patch in question is at some barns that I'm in the planning stages of converting at the moment. The site is about 25 minutes' drive away, so being able to automagically water stuff is going to be great - assuming I get it all to work!
What's the situation with the soil temp/moisture sensors? I see they're not yet available. It only occurred to me after buying the system that ideally I should not water the patch when it's been raining - a problem that doesn't occur when using WaterMate as intended indoors : ) Will I be able to use moisture sensors to prevent over-watering, do you think?

Welcome to our forum! That sounds absolutely fantastic, what a great idea.
Please share photos of your progress, we'd absolutely love to see!
