I like being able to get a better reading on my bigger pots. Being adjustable also allows you to try different dampness levels!

Great tool to have in the garden. Very helpful in preventing overwatering.

This moister meter really comes in handy making sure you have evenly watered your soil and make sure your not over watering. It’s length goes all the way down in deep living soil pots and beds.

Using a tensiometer in the 100 gallon beds, then used those beds to calibrate this meter, which I use for all the 30 gallons. Much cheaper than buying a ton of additional tensiometers.

This moisture meter is top quality. It is not small or cheaply made at all. It is a very nice moisture meter.

Bought 20" Reotemp moisture meter in May 2018. Worked great. Treated it with TLC the entire season. In Sept 2018 removed battery, cleaned probe, safely stored it in original packaging in heated garage.
May 27 2019 installed fresh alkaline battery, turned calibration screw to the far right, then dipped probe tip in glass of water. Was supposed to register 10 on the meter. Only registered 8. Installed a new lithium battery. Same result. Complained to REOTEMP customer service. They totally ignored me.
This device, used very carefully and kept clean and dry between every use and stored properly over winter, should last more than four months.
It works nicely but the 1-year REOTEMP guarantee is worthless. So let the buyer be aware.
Did you use tap water or filtered water during your moisture test? Would love to help
