Lincoln Moisture Meter

I picked up my Lincoln Moisture Meter at the P.O.
today. It was very well packed and arrived in
great condition.
I'll certainly need to do some research to be able to use the information in the Soil Moisture Management booklet since I'm not a "farmer" -- I'm attempting to grow native plant seedlings to attract wildlife to my drought-ridden property here in the New Mexico "bootheel" and am using drip irrigation. The challenge is to come up with a watering plan that walks the fine line between "too much" and "not enough" so these seedlings will get off to a good start and become established.
The Lincoln Moisture Meter seems like it will be a sturdy and extremely valuable tool in my quest to re-vegetate a small portion of my property down here.
I'm glad I found your website............Thank you

I use the Lincoln meter to measure soil moisture in container media. It is a good basic instrument because you can check moisture at various depths and as many containers as needed. The only caveat is to make sure the probe tip is in good contact with the media. Sometimes I get erroneous readings when checking media that has large air spaces due to pine bark in the mix.
