These simple devices could turn anyone into a green thumb overnight. We test moisture sensors indoors, outdoors, and in the garden to see if they really work and find out the tricks you need to know to grow all your plants big and strong.
Here are links to the sensors tested:
apine Soil Moisture Meter: amzn.to/3Ugq8Hf
XLUX Soil Moisture Meter (2 pack): amzn.to/3LmzdKt

What I know about them meters is to Never leave the meter more than 10 minutes in the soil as it will not give accurate reading . Great comparison

Excellent point. Thanks for sharing, that's become my long term practice too...

Does leaving them in the moist soil ruin them? It seems like they shouldn’t be impacted by time

I think that the main thing here is that it helps people to be better plant parents. Even kf the accuracy is not at 100 percent, it helps toward a good end goal. It's supposed to give good indications, not intended to be a scientific instrument.

been using a moisture meter for about 30 min... (I have the non apine version) in my limited experience I've used the move around to different spots in the same planet testing - I've found leaving the meter for about 5 to 10 minutes to level out at each point of testing works best also on the side of the box it says not to leave in the soil for hours at a time thank you for this video... you are the only one that shows how to use these even if other video titles say that's what they are doing

Thanks for the compliment, and agree about moving the probes around and not keeping them in the pots for too long...

Thanks for sharing. They are helpful as long as you understand the gauge's limitations.

Thank you for the test Now I just got to figure out how they work with no battery
@MakeItorBreakItNow

The moisture completes the circuit. Very interesting for sure.
@stevehall8227
@stevehall8227 5 месяцев назад
Ok, so moisture completes the circuit. But with no power , is there a circuit or isn’t it just a loop of wire that magically shows moisture and ph levels? Is the light sensor a tiny solar cell that stores power in a little capacitor?
@easygrows2699

Soil moisture meters that do not use batteries operate on the principle of a galvanic cell, which is a type of battery that generates electricity by the chemical reaction between two dissimilar metals and the moisture in the soil.

I saw someone say that if it says wet when it's not wet, it could be because there's a lot of salt
@MakeItorBreakItNow
@MakeItorBreakItNow Год назад
Maybe, but if your plants are in salt water you have bigger problems...

They were referring to the salt build up left behind from salt based (bottled) nutrition, which is most of them if not all. Not a problem for organic growers. The fix is running plain water till that goes down, usually three times the pots volume. The problem with salt build up is that it suffocates the root system.

Yup, very likely they all come from the same factory.... That was one of the things I was testing.

okay, so these work using conductivity. any sort of salts in the soil alter the outcome, so you need to now details about your soil's minerals, to get even a ball park figure. leaving electrodes in the soil will kill these due to almost instant corrosion. these only work if you shove it in, gives you a figure, and pull it out. so this video is basically an user error of an already difficult to understand device
@MakeItorBreakItNow
@MakeItorBreakItNow 5 месяцев назад
Agreed, salt can be a factor.

Not recommended. Take your reading and then remove them is a best practice.

I've kept them in for a couple of days not issues. But one can be used to check many pots.
