Soil water tension at two depths
See how strongly the soil holds on to water, at two depths at once. Expressed in kPa: the higher the value, the drier the soil.

NewKnow how dry your soil really is.
WolkyTolky SoilSense gives you reliable soil monitoring, anytime and anywhere. Put an extra measuring point in your field and see soil moisture and temperature next to the rest of your sensor network.
What it measures1 2 3
Three things your soil tells you
Soil temperature
Follow the soil temperature alongside the moisture, for smarter irrigation and crop decisions.
Wet-bulb temperature (SoilSense Frost)
With the optional wet-bulb sensor you also keep an eye on night frost and get a call when it becomes critical.
In the app
Both depths in one graph
Compare soil moisture values at two depths over a day, a week or a month, and see at a glance whether you are within your target range. All your measuring points are on the map next to it.

Frequently asked questions about SoilSense
What does WolkyTolky SoilSense measure?
Soil water tension (soil moisture) at two depths and the soil temperature. With the optional wet-bulb temperature sensor (SoilSense Frost) you also monitor night frost.
What is soil water tension and what does kPa mean?
Soil water tension shows how strongly the soil holds on to water, expressed in kilopascals (kPa). The higher the value, the drier the soil and the harder it is for the plant to take up water.
What is the difference between SoilSense and SoilSense Frost?
SoilSense Frost is the same station with an extra wet-bulb temperature sensor. Besides soil monitoring, that gives you a frost alarm.
Does it work without a power supply and wifi?
Yes. The station has its own solar panel and battery and a built-in 4G module. It automatically picks the strongest mobile network.
Is SoilSense a standalone product?
SoilSense is meant as an extension of your sensor network, an extra measuring point next to your WolkyTolky station. Get in touch and we will look at what suits your situation.
Can I see several measuring points on a map?
Yes, in the app you see all your stations on a map, with the current readings.
