This works great, but you need to repeatedly hit the button over and over again until the soil is at the desired level of dryness. Also, try to be quick because cops are some of the only people who use those blower things, so there's a possibility of them noticing a two foot pot plant sticking out of the blower; which might inevitably lead them to wondering who over-watered that plant... so wear a mask and cape to conceal your identity.
