Long Stem/Backyard Moisture Meter

Brand: REOTEMP Instruments Corporation

Free Shipping on Orders Over $370.60 USD

The REOTEMP® Moisture Meter allows you to measure relative moisture deep within a large compost pile.

The meter indicates the moisture content of your compost pile or soil sample by means of a sensor at the bottom of the probe. The probe is sensitive only at the tip.

Calibrate the instrument by inserting the tip into an ideal sample of compost or soil and adjusting the needle to a "5" on the 0 to 10 scale. 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, and nurseries across the country.
