The soil moisture meter tells you, instantly, whether the plants need water. With this tool, you will know that sometimes though the top of the soil looks very dry, just beneath the surface it's very wet -- no wonder the plants are struggling. It's very easy to use, just stick it in the soil and the dial instantly tells you whether the soil is dry, moist or wet.
