"Franz Heymann" wrote "JennyC" wrote My local garden centre has closed the garden equipment section completely I wanted one of those thingamabobs that show the moisture in the soil but they were out of reach behind the Xmas baubles..........grrrrrrrr They are about as close to a fraud as it is possible to be without actually being one. They effectively measure the electrical conductivity of the soil, of which the moisture content is but one contributing cause.. Franz Possibly true but they do seem to work for me :~) Do you know of a better / cheaper / more efficient method ? Jenny |
