REOTEMP15 Inch Garden and Compost Moisture Meter, Garden Tool Ideal for Soil, Plant, Farm and Lawn Moisture Testing

the meter works great, i have broken several of the cheap meters the sell at the nursery and amazon.i have been looking for that was a lot stronger, we have tough clay soil and i can push this in without breaking iti will probably be ordering a longer one soonthanks

Out of the box the meter is already usable (about right for my indoor plants) without calibration. Compare to other cheap soil meters that I've used before, this one is definitely well/over built. The only thing that I don't like it is the battery compartment, after removing the 4 screws, you'll find the battery holder at the back, not easily accessible. It should be rearranged and place in the front.

NO SIRVE !!!!! En primer lugar las instrucciones dicen: remover cinta roja Y NIO HABÍA TAL CINTA. Después dicen calibrar usando la muestra de suelo húmedo. Lo hice y NO RESPONDE, intenté varías veces a diferentes humedades y la aguja en el indicador siempre está entre 2y4, NI SE MUEVE, ni se puede calibrar.ME LI DEBEN CAMBIAR!!!!

Despite other reviews saying that they're a waste of time. I found it Very useful in recording my lawn moisture content over a wide area. The instructions say calibration is required when first using (using The screw), but experimenting I found that it was fine straight from the box.

Very happy with the moisture meter. Works exactly as it's supposed to work. It's a simple relative measure meter. Nothing fancy about it. Well constructed. I expect it to last for many many years without issue.
