Then, the next time you insert your Moisture meter you'll know relative to your ideal moisture content whether your soil is too dry or too wet. Note that this is not a % moisture content. The meter is sensitive to changing salt content and can be used to track leachate. Used by composters, farmers,municipal composting operations, and nurseries across the country. Review: Que funcione - NO SIRVE !!!!! En primer lugar las instrucciones dicen: remover cinta roja Y NIO HABÍA TAL CINTA. Después dicen calibrar usando la muestra de suelo húmedo. Lo hice y NO RESPONDE, intenté varías veces a diferentes humedades y la aguja en el indicador siempre está entre 2y4, NI SE MUEVE, ni se puede calibrar. ME LI DEBEN CAMBIAR!!!!

ME LI DEBEN CAMBIAR!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Nice long stem to reach the roots of plants *by M***R on 7 December 2016* Works ok. Not as accurate in reading soil moisture as I had hoped. Nice long stem to reach the roots of plants. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy, well built, and consistent *by B***Y on 27 May 2024* Out of the box the meter is already usable (about right for my indoor plants) without calibration. Compare to other cheap soil meters that I've used before, this one is definitely well/over built. The only thing that I don't like it is the battery compartment, after removing the 4 screws, you'll find the battery holder at the back, not easily accessible. It should be rearranged and place in the front. ## Frequently Bought Together - REOTEMP 36 Inch Garden and Compost Moisture Meter, Garden Tool Ideal for Soil, Plant, Farm and Lawn Moisture Testing - REOTEMP FM-0 Orange Probe Handle for Compost Thermometers - REOTEMP Heavy Duty Compost Thermometer - Fahrenheit and Celsius (36 Inch Stem), Made in The USA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/393856313-garden-and-compost-moisture-meter-36-inch-stem](https://www.desertcart.it/products/393856313-garden-and-compost-moisture-meter-36-inch-stem) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
