## Description

The REOTEMP Garden and Compost Moisture Meter is a heavy-duty moisture meter used by gardeners, composters, farmers, and nurseries to get a relative moisture level reading. The moisture meter's unique calibration feature allows it to be used in a variety of applications including compost, gardening and soil moisture testing. Calibration allows for adjustment of the meter to the specific moisture needs of different plants and applications when compared to a non-adjustable meter.

Review: Well built and serves my application. - This measures current through soil and the least resistance is saturated dirt, not fresh water. This is important if you are trying to calibrate the 10. I like that the probe is strong enough to be able check several spots around my fruit trees. No fear of breaking it. I already decided not to water one zone the first day, That’s why I bought it, so I’m happy.
Review: Quality, solid, construction - I have been using my Reotemp moisture meter for 1 month now. I am mostly impressed with its construction, solid metal case, and robust, thick, non-bending probe. I bought this meter for those reasons as the other available moisture meters have very flimsy probes that end up bending and breaking when placed in the soil to take readings. We have a new home and have done a lot of costly landscaping, plus put in a tomato/ vegetable garden and monitor our water needs daily. Our soil has a high clay content, so in some areas drains poorly, so in some instances one can easily overwater-- so a decent moisture meter is an essential tool. The Reotemp's probe extends 15", so you can measure down in the root area of most plants, for accurate readings. The meter has a quality, easy to read basic scale that gives you relative moisture meters (not % of moisture). First you set it up, and set it to a previously watered area to give you a relative reading of satisfactory moisture. This is all relative so you have to set it up to what you consider a healthy/plant soil moisture condition. The meter readings our easily adjusted with a screw driver. I set mine to six on the scale, so there is room to read over or under moisture conditions. Everyone probably will use their own criteria. The first few days I tested it against other meters I had and it was always accurate and dependable for a good reading. The probe is probably 1/4" + thick, and has no problem getting down into fairly compacted plant medium. It certainly is making gardening a lot easier for me taking daily readings-- as I don't like to water to a schedule, but rather, water when a plant actually needs it. I recommend the Reotemp meter!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Well.. for multiple Uses
*by J***P on April 26, 2013*

I got tired of the always break Home Depot/Lowes models made in China. This is made by Reotemp a high end industrial supplier based out of California. They sell more robust version of this product which I think are made in the USA. This one was made in communist china. I took it apart and while the quality of the components was pretty good, the mfg was not and the calibration screw was not mounted properly but I could still access it and use it. These device use galvanic current action which trips a electromagnet and requires a coarse calibration to use. The Calibration directions are not correct. You should use a two point calibration. First stick the device in water and make sure it reads above full scale and the meter is pegged. Next take a known soil source that you have water thoroughly, such as a pot you have dripped through thoroughly and is truly wet. Then stick the probe in and make sure it reads full scale by adjusting the calibration screw if required. Then take some dry potting soil or other very dry soil and make sure it reads near zero. The mfg sells direct to the public and has wireless versions. These are primarily used, I think for testing commercial compost piles although those use a longer probe. You cant keep this out 24/7 but you can check your compost soil and most soil. The case and probe are pretty rugged but your not going to be able to use it to check hard clay soil due to the fragile electromagnetic. I use it for checking my compost pile but mainly for checking the 200 or so potted plants and numerous garden beds that use compost based soil. You should be aware if you have salty soil this probe will read a higher water content than you have. Real moisture sensors are called tensiometers and cost hundreds of dollars. This is a deal for 35 dollars and the quality should give you a decade or more of use if you don't pound it into the soil. Infinitely better than the made in china garbage you can get at Home Depot or most gardening stores which simply does not work well and dies in short order.
