using it in a sentence. "the soil is moist" moist.

we all know i cannot grow anything. i know why. my finger is not calibrated for moisture. i jam it in, it feels dry. i water.

i bought a moisture gauge a few days ago. it was mind opening. everything is damp!! stuff i would have watered.

i now believe my Fiddle Fig tree indoor plant has a fighting chance. i chopped it half in height because it was growing into the ceiling. (i bought it big). i almost killed it under-watering it. the leaves got big brown spots. i am homing in on the perfect moisture number.

there is new growth where i hacked it in half.

i love my moisture gauge. it doesn't take a battery even. i need to google how that works. you all just jam i finger in the soil? or are you watching for the leaves to droop?
