The weather forecast had been calling for several days this week to be in the 90s. The past two days the 90s had dropped to mid-80s. Well, the forecasters forgot to copy Mother Nature and she hit us with 90 today anyway. Its been up there for a few hours. I chose to clean the house where it is only 78. I think we may want to switch on the central air at this point.
My husband decided I needed a moisture meter. This thing is really slick. The day it came I had been digging around in my soil anyway so I knew what was damp and what was dry. I went around testing it and found it to be accurate. It is designed to put in house plants but it works perfectly for these containers. As you push it deeper or withdraw it the reading adjusts so you can tell just how deep your moisture actually is.
