Under my plant light top of soil dries out quickly, how do I test to see if soil deeper down is dry so I know when to water, it's too small for my finger I don't want to overwater my Tomato seedlings.
Testing seed trays for soil dampness (tomato seedling)
Hi Keith,
Well, I don’t grow any veggies, just annual and perennial flowers. My plants are usually in rather small containers (until transplanted outside) so it’s pretty easy to tell when they need water by just how heavy or light the container feels. Sometimes however (with plants in slightly larger pots), I will use a moisture meter. The one I have is a Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest; it was inexpensive and it really works great. If you have trouble judging when to water your tomato plants, a moisture meter might be something to consider.

Ok good idea thanks!
