Review on REOTEMP 24 Inch Garden And Compost Moisture Meter, Garden Tool Ideal For Soil, Plant, Farm And Lawn Moisture Testing by Andres Black

This long probe relative moisture meter was exactly what I needed to determine if I was over or under watering recently planted trees. Visual inspection of some trees doesn't always help to determine which situation is causing their stress. Using this meter it is easy to tell which are dry and which have too much water. Using the meter is as simple as pushing it into the ground. Having a probe long enough to reach the bottom of the root ball is key for my task and I can determine if any part of it is too wet or too dry as you slowly push the probe in. I was concerned about needing to calibrate the meter but it came calibrated well enough for my usage and that process is simple enough anyway. Final thought, this thing is solid, some of my soil is pretty dense clay and crushed granite and I can still push the probe in without breaking it.
