Should I be watering this plant when the soil still registers as “Moist”? This is a Council tree and I haven’t watered in almost 2 weeks.

I would check with a chopstick to see if it comes out damp. Sometimes those moisture meters can be a bit deceiving.

How deep is the meter? It looks deeper than 2 inches but hard to tell.

### Demetre a commenté le 2025-06-20

It’s probably about 4” - 6” deep

Should I only be putting it down 2”?
