FOR YOUR INFORMATIONThere are many ways of measuring soil moisture status - neutron probe, tensiometers, electrical resistance blocks, etc. - all of which have some limitations.These ones work on the principle of electrical potential developed across a bimetallic tip. As soil moisture content increases, so does the flux of energy. The flow of energy is registered on a gauge which has a range of values indicating how dry or wet the soil is. These are an attractive alternative to other soil moisture measuring devices, these devices can make quick, multiple measurements and are inexpensive. These meters are affected by soil salinity. They may give artifically high readings in saline (salty) soils. They should also not be used in rocky or sandy soil as the rocks and sand do not provide enough contact on the sides of the bimetallic tip to give accurate readings. As these moisture meters are a testing probe, they are not meant to be left in the plant's soil for long periods of time, as any salt and minerals in the soil can attach to the probe, corode and distort the readings. Wiping clean is recommended after each soil testing.CLICK HERE TO SEE MY OTHER ITEMS ON AUCTION, I WILL COMBINE ITEMS TO SAME ADDRESS WHERE EVER POSSIBLE TO SAVE SHIPPING COST TO YOU.
