5.0 out of 5 stars How not to drown your plants!, September 12, 2007

By	Deborah Laurel (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Years and years ago, my mother gave me one of these moisture meters to save me from over watering my house plants and ruining my floors and my furniture.
It finally died (probably after over 25 years!) so I purchased this one. What I like about this moisture meter is that it has a wand separate from the meter itself, which you can stick into the dirt. It makes it much easier to read than the temporary replacement moisture meter I purchased at my local garden supply store that has the wand extending from the bottom of the meter. I have hanging house plants and simply could not read the meter that way. So I highly recommend this one, which also comes with a guide that indicates how much to water a variety of plants. No more checking the top of the soil with my finger, thinking the plant needed water, and killing it with over-watering.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only half works!, February 25, 2008

By	Proud Navy Mom (Duncansville, PA) - See all my reviews

Rapitest Soil Light & Moisture MeterThe moisture part is amazing and very accurate from houseplant to houseplant, BUT the light meter part does not react at all to any stimulus. The accompanying chart is helpful to decide how much and whether or not to water. It is also interesting that the reading sometimes changes when the meter is inserted into different parts of the same pot, so that it indicates that some parts are more moist than others of the same plant, and so you can adjust your watering to insure even amounts reach all of the soil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile, effective, and inexpensive, July 23, 2008

By	Boston Born "Historical novel maven" - See all my reviews

Luster Leaf Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter #1820. Effective, versatile, accurate and inexpensive water meter. Convenient flexible cord permits holding meter in hand while probe placed in soil. Can be used inside for house plants and outside for larger plants and new shrubs. Cheaper if ordered from Denny and Kathy Ace on same page with Amazon direct order. Make nice and appreciated gift to people with garden interests.
