 How Geeks Water Their Plants March 4, 2010
ATypical Consumer
I usually don't do well with houseplants. I can never remember how often to water them, and even when I do know, I contstantly forget when I watered them last. Well, not anymore. This moisture meter lets me measure when the dirt is dry enough to water again, which is very handy, considering that my different plants in their different-sized pots all drink water at varying rates. It's simple, and works very well.

as with other reviewers on this product in a full glass of water, it reads 5/10. Is it hit and miss when you buy these things?
Have an older version of this.... January 20, 2010

...and it's still working 25+ years in. I see several reviews saying the thing is junk. In all likelihood, the only problem these folks are up against is an excessive oxide layer on the metal probe. My rigid, single piece unit has the same probe and you only need to give it a good scrubing with a Scotch Brite pad to resurrect a "dead" or mis-reading probe (a small pad was included with mine). As far as being a "light meter", where is it saying this thing is for that purpose?!? Duh!!!
Seems some people give up way too easily...of course RTFM is probably way too much to ask :D

I purchased this meter to check the moisture level of some indoor plants and be sure I was watering correctly. I had been sticking my finger in the soil to test. I have been gardening for a long time and plants were doing well but some pots hold water and others dry out quickly - thought it would be nice to have an accurate moisture meter than my finger. Well this product is not the one. I followed the directions and stuck it in several times & places. The meter was reading "wet" so I did not water my plants and almost killed a couple. The touch test was much more accurate that this meter! I would not buy or use again.
