Deborah L. Member Joined: Feb 2006 Southern California, USA	Does anyone use moisture meters in container trees? A friend bought them for her potted citrus trees. Just to experiment, I placed the meter around the soil in the pots into different spots. Each time the meter showed a different reading. How then are these things reliable?
