INSTRUCTIONS AND USE

Specifications

Construction: Anodized aluminum and high impact

plastic.

Dimensions: 48 Inches tall.

Read out: Meter reads 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, & 100%

Moisture.

• 10 - 25 indicate low moisture. In this range, plant

roots have difficulty absorbing moisture. Therefore,

this must be considered a danger condition.

• 25 — 75 indicate medium moisture or the ideal range.

• 75 - 100 indicate a wet soil, which denotes too much

water.

Normally, after irrigation or rain, the read out will indicate wet or saturated soil.

This condition will change in about an hour, when dealing with normally draining

soils, to the 25 - 75% range.
