Summary: No More Guessing
Comment: I do enjoying working with my orchids and other tropical plants now that I have an instrument which tells me that my plants are ready for watering. It prevents overwatering. That takes some of the guessing out on indoor gardening.

Summary: Wacks self with hammer
Comment: Agree with Mr. Moore, thing is stuck on ph 7. Have tried Diet Pepsi (ph 3.2) and milk (ph 6.3) and it doesnt budge. Milk does show a "C" on the moisture meter.

Summary: a piece of...
Comment: This meter sucks. I don't know how anyone gave it a 5 star review. I put it in water mixed with OJ and it is telling me that the mixture has a PH of 7. I stick it in my soil... PH of 7. So orange juice isn't acidic I guess? OR THE METER IS A PIECE. Everything it touches is PH neutral... yeah right.
Not to mention the moisture aspect of the meter. It basically is either "dry" or "wet". There is no in between with this device. I can tell when soil is wet... its HOW wet I am interested in. I'd be happy even with a "dry" "moist" or "very wet" but every time I stick this in my soil the needle goes fully to the right (indicating wet) even when the soil is pretty dry.
If you buy this product after reading my review you should also purchase a hammer to help knock the stupid out of your head. I'm a physicist... and this is the worst ph tester I have ever seen.
About as accurate as pouring chemical on your hand and determining the PH by the burn it causes.

Summary: Indispensable Gardening Tool
Comment: Extension agents will tell you "Fertilize the crop, not the soil." Good advice if you're using chemical fertilizers. As an organic grower, I believe "Feed the soil, and the soil will feed the plants." Either way, you need to keep up with soil pH and organic matter content.
This great little meter may not be laboratory grade, but it is accurate enough for a quick check on your soil's lime requirements and organic matter content (by way of its relative moisture retention.)
Periodic soil testing is good practice. Frequent spot testing with this inexpensive meter is a gardening breakthrough!
