After losing a valuable set of crepes, which we had previously grown with excellent results, and reading an article that said plants are now shipped in lightweight media that has moisture characteristics much different than what you plant them in, I bought 3 moisture meters based on ratings mostly.
They were all the same, made in China, with the same packaging that was not helpful. All were reliable, giving the same readings, and the media they came in sure enough dries out much faster than the planting soil I filled the larger hole with.
The only difference is the multimeters have a smaller scale, which makes them harder to read when surveying the beds and yard. (These were the “Three Way Meter” and the “Jellas”). The single measure (moisture) is easier to read and I just ordered 2 more based on price (“Alotpower”).
One of them broke off the electrode, but the problem was me pushing it into hard soil.

This turned my deadly brown thumb into a green thumb!
I can’t say enough about how great this this thing is! It’s the 3rd one I’ve purchased because I lost one when I moved and then last year I accidentally left one outside over the winter months, on a patio chair. Don’t worry, if you forget it outside for a few days, it’ll be just fine. Before I bought this, I didn’t have a green thumb at all. I always over-watered or under-watered and this little thing made me realize that you can water two plants on the same day and one plant will be dry the next time you check and the second plant may not need water for another few days. Since I’ve purchased these, I’ve been able to grow basil, lavender, strawberries, mint, lemon mint, lantanas, a butterfly garden, tomatoes, and sugar baby watermelon! Before I bought this, I could only grow bamboo (because you just have to remember to keep water above the rocks or sand that you plant it in. If you are unsure when to water, buy this thing. If you’re still unsure how much to water, when you do, it tells you how dry the soil is. And, if you still over or under-water, you’ll know when you check it again when and it reads either wet or dry. If that happens, just wait a day or two for wet soil, and I learned pretty quickly which plants to water like crazy (i.e. mint). Another thing that I learned is seeds bought online rarely work. I thought it was me, but when I bought seeds (for 6 different kinds of plants) locally and they all worked, I was shocked. I learned that expiration dates on seeds really matter. Seeds expire after approximately three years, and have to be stored in a cool, dry place. Some seeds that I bought online didn’t even list the expiration date, and you never know how they are stored. There is a great article about storing your own seeds on Good Housekeeping’s website. P.S. The brown planter table (perfect wheelchair height) and the red/pink elephant watering can in the first photo, were also purchased on Amazon.
