Helps determine optimal watering and fertilization schedules
Includes one AAA battery
15” long stem and 5/16” diameter ensure the most accurate reading possible

The meter reads “wetness” by measuring electrical conductivity, which is sensitive to salt content. If the salt content of your compost varies between testing locations, it could result in inconsistent readings. The meter is intended to give you a good idea of whether or not the center of your pile is too dry or too wet without having to dig deep into the pile for a “squeeze test”.

It is sturdy which I wanted but did not know all the calibration would be needed so was hoping it would be simple but we are working thru it. ALSO I never imagined there would be 20 plus dollars to ship such a small thing - just assumed I'd paid enough for it to get free shipping - wish I had asked or paid more attention to shipping cost.
Hello Linda,
Thank you for your honest feedback and for choosing Rocky Mountain BioAg. We are glad the build quality of the Reotemp moisture meter met your expectations! The calibration mechanism on these commercial-grade probes is designed so you can tune readings specifically to your unique soil texture, organic matter, and moisture capacity, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all factory default. Once dialed in for your soil profile, it delivers dependable, accurate data season after season. If you run into any questions while working through the calibration, please reach out, our team is always happy to assist.
Regarding shipping, because of the rigid 15-inch stem and sensitive dial housing, these instruments require elongated, protective packaging to arrive safely without bending in transit. Freight carriers bill those boxes based on dimensional length, and we pass through actual carrier rates directly without inflation. We completely understand that shipping costs are frustrating, and we appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your business!

I’m a bit confused about the calibration results. The meter, when not in the soil and on my workbench always reads a 2. I would expect it to drop to zero when not in the soil. Thus, overall I’m not fully confident in its readings.
Hello William,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
We completely understand how a reading of 2 out of the soil would seem confusing. The Reotemp Moisture Meter features an adjustable calibration screw (located on the side/housing of the dial) so you can fine-tune the zero baseline in open air or calibrate the scale directly to your specific soil environment.
Adjusting this calibration screw will reset your baseline so you can feel completely confident in your soil moisture readings.

Works as expected. I like that I get to calibrate the device to the sound moisture level that seems appropriate to me

I am really happy with the Reotemp Moisture Meter. I calibrated it with soil in a bucket at what I deemed 50% moisture and was pleased to find that as I probed areas of the bucket that were wetter and drier, the moisture meter picked up those differences perfectly. I'm using in the field and with my houseplants. Great tool for a great price!
Thank you for the 5-star review, Bryan! We’re so glad to hear the Reotemp Moisture Meter is working perfectly for you.
That’s a great tip on the bucket calibration, it’s a simple and effective way to ensure accuracy before heading out into the field or checking your houseplants. It’s always rewarding to see a tool provide that kind of consistent, reliable data at a solid price point.
