Product overview
Draper Soil Moisture Meter & pH Tester 10-Scale Garden Soil Watering Reader 260mm Probe No Battery
The Draper Soil Moisture Reader is a simple, battery-free garden soil tester designed to help monitor soil moisture and pH-related soil conditions around plant roots. Its long probe can be inserted into the soil to root level, while the large, colour-coded analogue dial provides an immediate reading without requiring batteries or electronic controls.
The meter uses a 1–10 moisture scale divided into three easy-to-understand zones: 1–3 Dry in the red zone, 4–7 Moist in the green zone and 8–10 Wet in the blue zone. This makes it straightforward to assess whether soil is relatively dry, suitably moist or wet before watering.

Suitable for indoor plants, outdoor plants, gardens, lawns and general plant care, the Draper soil moisture meter can help reduce guesswork when deciding when plants require watering.
