Match up Monday! When it is time to check the soil before watering, are you team moisture meter or team finger test?!

Team lifted weight and visual inspect (mine all have clear inner pots) combined with finger/bamboo stick, meter for larger deep pots

Moisture meter and weight. But my concrete pots are impossible to judge by weight. And I usually will try the meter in a few locations in the pot.

Finger

I might benefit from a meter, but I’ve mostly finger tested thus far. Visual signs of thirst is something too tho.

Moisture meter. But I also check weight as I do my daily checks.

After assessing the appearance either by weight or chopstick.
