Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this thing! I purchased dwarf citrus trees to grow in containers, and they are finicky about wet feet, so I wanted a moisture meter. I agonized over reviews and the price of digital units; I didn’t want to spend a fortune as a garden hobbyist. In my deep dive into reviews, I found one that recommended this unit as an alternative to the pricy digital ones. I’ve been so happy with it! I would have seriously overwatered my little citrus trees without it. In fact, I’ve discovered that I’ve been overwatering my tomato plants for years This meter has also reassured me that the plants in our west-facing courtyard are in fact not going to die of thirst between waterings in our high mountain desert summer heat.. I now have this bad boy in my shed with a repurposed spiral notebook and pen, and I make the rounds of all my vegetable and ornamental plants every morning. I haven’t even used the light and pH functions yet - the moisture meter alone is well worth the cost. The instructions do say to wipe the probes off as you move from plant to plant; I’ve repurposed an old sock for that and it lives in the shed with the meter and the notebook.
