You can’t trust nature (it’s red in tooth and claw, remember?) but you can monitor its effect on plants with any of these electronic meters. The pH meter has a 7-1/2" long metal probe with a 1-5/8” x 3/4” ballistic meter on top that displays pH from 3 to 10. The moisture meter has a 7-1/2” long probe with a 1-1/2” x 3/4” ballistic meter, and measures 11” long OA, with a watering chart on the back of the package. No batteries: they work via chemical reaction to different metals (either that or it’s magic).
