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!
