The Moisture Meter instrument measures the moisture content of soil, indicating when it is time to water your plants. Three various zones are indicated on the top of the meter to indicate the level of moisture needed for various types of plants. Moisture Sensor lets you know the humidity of your soil. The easy to read graduated dial indicates if the soil is dry, moist or wet so that a lawn or garden can be watered accordingly. Save water and save money with this durable conservation aid.
Head / dial constructed of sturdy molded plastic. 8 inch metal stem for penetrating to root level. No batteries or electricity required. Instructions and watering tips printed on back of overleaf.

CLEAN THE SHAFT AND TIP WITH STEEL WOOL Surprisingly, no reviewer has recognized that this device acts as a battery. The anode and cathode are formed by the copper shaft and the lead tip. The electrolyte is the moisture in the soil. Low meter readings will result from low soil moisture (as intended) and, although not intended, from corrosion of the copper shaft or lead tip. So, clean the tip and shaft regularly with something like steel wool before inserting the probe in the soil.I bought 6 of these testers and all gave different readings until I used steel wool on the shaft and tip. After cleaning they all gave higher readings and did a great job of signalling the moisture content of the soil.You can test the device by submerging the tip and shaft in a few inches of water. If the meter’s needle moves into the “wet” zone, no cleaning is needed. If the needle doesn’t move quickly into the “wet” zone, cleaning as described.
It’s cheap and it really works well I was concerned the price was too low, but this meter does the job quickly and accurately. It’s well-built and works, giving an accurate reading in about 20 seconds. What more do you need? I’ve even dropped mine several times with no ill effects (not recommended behavior). There’s no reason for most gardeners to spend any more on a soil moisture meter.
