Moisture meters like the one you have purchased are notoriously
unreliable. Throw it away and use your finger instead.
You probably think I'm being an arrogant asshole, but after a month or

i recently bought a moisture meter to monitor my plants' watering (i have
all container gardens). what is the best place to stick the moisture meter
stick in the pot: close to the edge, close to the plant, halfway in between
the plant & the edge of the pot? the instructions on the moisture meter
covered everything but that particular topic.
