[Upgraded] Soil Moisture Meter, 4-in-1 Soil pH Tester, Moisture/Light/Nutrients/pH Meter for Gardening, Lawn, Farming, Indoor & Outdoor Plants Use, No Batteries Required, Gifts for Plants Lover

I love This little garden tool! I keep composting worms to break down our table scraps and create worm castings for my houseplants and vegetable garden. Worms need a high moisture environment and a relatively neutral pH to thrive and produce a lot of castings so I this meter dozens of times each week.Over the years, I’ve purchased more expensive devices for pH monitoring as well as the cheap moisture meters that are all over Amazon. None of them has worked well. Either they have given bad readings or they're too cumbersome to use easily.When I saw this soil meter, with its unique design, and multi-functionality, I decided to give it a try. i had very low expectations because of my other experiences.I'm so glad I did. this meter is easy to use and highly responsive to different soil conditions. When I move from each worm bin, the moisture readings change, as you would expect. Sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. And I believe the accuracy is good too. Soil that seems dry gives a lower reading than soil that I know is more wet.I don't have as much to say about the pH meter. All my readings are between 6.5 and just over 7, as I would expect. But the readings do change from sample to sample so I'm confident it's working.I don't use the light meter regularly but when I check my houseplants, I get readings that seem about right. Same with the nutrients setting.If I had one critique, I'd say that the scale on the pH meter could be more centered around 7. It ranges from 1 to 8. Any readings below 5 or above 9 aren't too useful for gardening, but easily being able to see if the pH is 6.75 or 7.25 would be.Other than that I'm thrilled with this device, especially for the price. If I broke it tomorrow, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

This is NOT a paid or sponsored review (although I wouldn’t mind testing products for honest reviews). I bought this with my own money to try and give my own opinion.I bought this not expecting much, but I figured why not give it a try and see how it performs. Right out of the box it is surprisingly built well enough that I don’t feel like it’s going to break anytime soon although time will tell. It comes in a cheap box from China but it is packaged well to where it will not get banged around in shipping. When I first put this meter to the test I was surprised that the readings are pretty close to what the actual condition of the soil is. The light meter function works well in the sun. I was kind of bummed to see it will not work with my grow lights (it states this in the instructions but I tested anyway). The moisture feature is pretty accurate I first measured bone dry soil and it was accurate so I gradually added water and kept checking and the meter registered exactly what I was seeing. The nutrient function seems to be reading pretty accurate for what I believe to be in the soil but I’m skeptical of this I will have to do further testing on this function and compare with other meters and report back on this one. The PH function works as accurate as the other functions. I started with alkaline soil PH 7 and stuck the probe in and it registered it with no problem. I then started adding PH down (hydroponic ACID) to the water and added it to the soil. The meter registered the PH as acidic PH 3 which is accurate compared to digital PH meter and PH solution. Overall I’m impressed. This is a nice little meter for everyday gardening and to get an idea of how your soil and plants are doing. I wouldn’t use just this meter on prized plants and rely only on this meter but it is definitely worth having on hand.If this company has other products I would be willing to try the other products as well to see how they perform as well as recommend this product to friends.

Works well, very convenient. We’re having soil issues that are impacting our blueberries. This meter is accurate to samples we have had sent to labs. We are confident we will be able to monitor our amendments accurately ourselves.

First time I've grown tomatoes in years and I felt like I was killing them, which I was. Since I'm growing them in pots I monitor moisture, PH, and nutrients on a daily basis and it's making a difference in the yield on the plants.

I think it truly does not work. The only thing that seems to function is the light meter, but I have eyes to see if there is light. The other readings do not seem to tell me anything. I've scuffed the tip and reinserted the probe, and there is no difference. I note that the ground has to have moisture in it in order to function, so I've tried it after a rain, and there still are no readings. Maybe, it does not work in sandy soil?

OK

I think it’s accurate. I have tested on dry areas of grass and on watered areas of grass and it has read correctly.Also, It hinges, so you can view your numbers while the tester is in the ground

Great little monitor. If it it stops working due to build up, a bit of sandpaper is included to reestablish a good reading. Don't blame the monitor if it's not maintained.
