I use this meter for not only growing my vegetables, etc outdoors but also to keep track of soil moisture and that data I share with the National Weather Service.. it is a very good meter and I got professional and prompt service from Frostproof Growers Supply

This meter gives me excellent readings in all my potted plants in the nursery. I know it says that I can use it in the field plantings but I'm not convinced. I'm sticking with tensiometers on those crops but I will keep testing the Lincoln meter in those areas.
