Not what I was looking for by J. McCabe (Phoenix, AZ)  2 Stars
September 07, 2009
This is just too technical for me. You have to refer to a chart and know the technical name of your plants in order to know whether or not it needs water. It doesn't just say "dry" or "wet" which is what I was really looking for. I'd say this is for someone who is way more serious and technical about their houseplants than I. I'll be getting a cheaper more basic one.

USE ONLY IN SOIL! NOT LIQUIDS! by K. White (Chicago USA)  4 Stars
July 19, 2009
The people who tested it in milk and orange juice did not read the instructions. Mine say clearly that this is NOT designed to test water or other liquids, but rather soil and damp, but not liquid situations.
to quote from the packaging: USE THE METER ONLY IN SOIL. DO NOT PLACE THE PROBES INTO WATER!!
Yes, all in caps. I guess some folks aren't literate.

Works well...usually by Vitius Altius Fortius (California) 4 Stars
January 30, 2009
Usually gives a ballpark reading of moisture. Sometimes seems not to work so well, not sure if it's soil type in question or what? But I'd recommend it as a quick checker.

No More Guessing by June  5 Stars
December 22, 2008
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.

Wacks self with hammer by Mark  1 Stars
October 31, 2008
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.
