Springfield 91746 Digital Soil Moisture Meter and Freeze Alert Review

I had no problem with connection, only 30ft I was using at.
The temp meter slow to change but seem to work, however the moisture meter part is crazy. It may measure it correctly when you push it into the ground, but after a while it will just go dry. Even when it raining for 2 days.
Maybe it gets air between the sensor and the ground I don't know, but it doesn't work.

Bamboo Palm 10 Seeds - Chamaedorea florida Review

Seeds never grew anything. I e-mailed the seller and was told that the seed takes 6 months to start a plant. I wouldn't have bothered if I knew that....pretty ridiculous. My problem is with the plant NOT the seller.
I got the seeds quickly. However the review was about the item, not the seller.

The Rumford Gardener Mini Indoor Garden Set with Molded Case HPC3010 Review

The Rumford Gardener Mini Indoor Garden Set with Molded Case HPC3010

I gave this as a gift to my daughter who is going to college and it was an instant hit. She clipped all the plants in my house, transplanted a few with the trowels, then stored all the tools back in the molded case to travel to school. There she is growing a variety of seedlings and caring for her roommates plants. I choose the molded case version over the tote bag because I thought that with all the moves she will face in the next few years the case would keep everything together. The clippers are sharp and the tools sturdy enough for an amateur indoor gardener. I combined this gift with a house plant book and it was a success. The trowels would not be sturdy enough to use in hard outdoor soil but that is not the intented use of this product.

Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter Review

Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Years and years ago, my mother gave me one of these moisture meters to save me from over watering my house plants and ruining my floors and my furniture.
It finally died (probably after over 25 years!) so I purchased this one. What I like about this moisture meter is that it has a wand separate from the meter itself, which you can stick into the dirt. It makes it much easier to read than the temporary replacement moisture meter I purchased at my local garden supply store that has the wand extending from the bottom of the meter. I have hanging house plants and simply could not read the meter that way. So I highly recommend this one, which also comes with a guide that indicates how much to water a variety of plants. No more checking the top of the soil with my finger, thinking the plant needed water, and killing it with over-watering.

Black & Decker PCS10 PlantSmart Digital Plant Care Sensor Review

Black and Decker PCS10 PlantSmart Digital Plant Care Sensor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Can you imagine buying something, like this, to help you measure SOMETHING. I was very disappointed that ALL it did was give you "moisture," "bright," "warm." NO REAL NUMBERS! Than it gives you a list of plants for your "area" and a link, for some, to buy the plant/seeds - selling! So it does an awful job collecting data with no numbers ("warm," "intense [sunlight]]," "moist"[soil]). What is "bright"? What is "moist"? I could do this MYSELF just by looking and touching the ground! No Ph LEVEL!! They want MORE MONEY for "fertilizer" information. LOUSY and VERY disappointed. Don't waste you money. Just look out the window, touch the ground, and save your money especially when this device comes back with recommendation to "BUY" plants, seeds, and additional soil information on a monthly basis that should be included when you purchase it.

From the potted petunia in the living room to the tomato plants on the patio to the Elm tree in the yard, Black & Decker's Plant Smart sensor makes growing lush, healthy plants easy and fun. The compact digital sensor measures sunlight, temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and more by simply inserting the testing end into the ground for 24 hours. It then separates and the top part plugs into a computer to provide several types of customized growing feedback. In Recommend mode, the tool helps to find the right plant based on the present growing conditions; in Monitor mode, the tool makes suggestions to improve the health of an existing plant; in Water mode, the tool instantly measures soil moisture to see if a plant needs water. Additional online resources include a library of 6,000 plants and a My Plants personalized homepage. Sweetly designed with a big orange flower on top, the sensor makes a great gift for any home gardener. It includes USB cable, one AAA battery, storage bag, and quick start card; and it carries a one-year warranty.
From the Manufacturer Using advanced technology, your PC or Mac, and an Internet connection, the Black & Decker PCS10 PlantSmart digital plant care sensor analyzes your home or garden's growing conditions and relays advice on proper care and maintenance of plants. Three specialized modes and an interface with the PlantSmart Web site make this sensor useful for beginning and advanced gardeners.

Three Modes Track Sunlight, Temperature, Moisture, and Soil QualityThe PlantSmart sensor eliminates guesswork by reading your garden or plant's current levels. You choose between three specialized modes, depending on your needs.

In Recommend mode, the sensor takes multiple readings of temperature, light, and soil moisture in a 24-hour period. Based on this data, you will receive recommendations for plants that will thrive in your area. Monitor mode diagnoses ailing or frail plants, giving you detailed instructions on reviving them. Water mode lets you know if a plant is parched or oversaturated.

For a low subscription fee, you can activate an additional mode that will allow your PlantSmart sensor to test your soil's fertility levels.

This versatile device works with houseplants, flowers, vegetables, fruits, herbs, shrubs, trees, and grasses. It uses one AAA battery (included).

Detailed Instructions for Healthier PlantsAfter the sensor is finished with its analysis, connect it to your PC or Mac with the included USB cable. The PlantSmart Web site will download the sensor data, along with your area's current weather, climate, and horticultural hardiness.

You will receive a custom report about growing conditions in your area and immediate feedback on watering, sun exposure, temperature, and soil nutrition.
