1 Star Not so great
I held this under running water and it still did not register "wet." So, I don't know how I can trust it to test the moisture in the soil.

3 Stars Variable Accuracy
pH: I'm a biochemistry major at UMaine and I've often used high-end pH meters, which require very sensitive electrodes. This just uses two metal prongs, but I've found it to be accurate enough for soil testing.

light: the light meter on mine must be broken or I'm not using it correctly - perhaps I need to use it in direct sunlight because it's not registering much under my UV grow lights. That said, light intensity is something that doesn't usually require a meter to figure out. You can usually get a good estimate just by looking or reading local forecasts for your region.

moisture: the key with these meters is that they have to pass an electric current between the electrodes (the prongs) and pure water or even tap water from the faucet doesn't usually contain enough ions to conduct a strong current. You would probably not get any reaction from one of these types of meters by placing the prongs under a source of running water. If you pour a cup of water and place the prongs in there, that will probably show up on the meter. However, what it really needs is the ions contained in the soil to propagate a strong current and therefore an accurate reading (just for fun, add salt to your cup of water and then see the needle max out - the salt forms ions in the water). I've been using this meter in soil tests and it very accurately reads the moisture level.

3 Stars pH meter busted
The light and moisture meters are really useful and work perfectly, but the pH meter never leaves 7.5 or so, not even in coffee or vinegar or soap...

2 Stars Not sure if it really works
Ours broke after 2 years. We kept it clean and did not abuse it. Needle seemed to fail. Ph results were either pinned at 3 to 3.5 or 6.5. I think the former is because I nuked the poor blueberry plant with a few cups of sulfur. So there might be user error. Regardless, I think I got what I paid for. I plan to buy a much more expensive one (do a search for soil ph meters on Amazon).

5 Stars Love the convenience and great roses
I love the Jobe's rose spike fertilizer. It goes into the ground where the nutrients are easily accessible to the rose roots. It doesn't get washed away during rain or waterings, so it's alway available to the plants. They're very easy to use and last 6 weeks. My roses sure do love the Jobe's fertilizer spikes and reward me with lots of fragrant blooms and healthy leaves.

5 Stars Purchase Rose fertilizer spikes
I was looking to purchase Rose fertilizer spikes and found them at Amazon and was very satisfied with the process.

5 Stars GREAT FOR SMALL LAWNS
This is a real nice spreader for small lawns. It fits nicely on top of my mower for storage. Handles can also be folded down for storage. I decided to be my own lawn service and have been very pleased with this spreader. Very nice product and good price.

1 Star Scotts Basic/Standard Spreader Sucks
Bought the spreader now called the (standard Model) for $ 26. Worked fine on Fescue grass but then locked up when I used it on Zoysia grass. Wheels an axle locked up. This spreader should be used by those who ONLY have a level lawn, less then 10,000 sq feet and only use Scott products (fine particles ) in it. Anything otherthen the Scott sized particle may not work in this unit because of its design. My lawn guy told me to get an Earthway push or a John Deere that I can hook up to my ZTR. Now I must get hitch bracket for Zero Turn Mower. I cut 1.5 acres of grass. The Earthway and John Deere models all cost major $$$. He sys that is because they last. Lesson learned.

5 Stars Delivery of Scotts Basic Broadcast Spreader

5 Stars Let me get back to you in 5 months!
Well, it's winter, so I have no clue how well this thing works. I do know they shipped it quick, it was packed well, and assembly was a snap!

1 Star Pure junk that Scotts wants you to purchase annually!
This spreader is horrendous. It lasted for about 5 uses before falling apart. Unfortunately, there are not many alternatives in the stores.
