Luster Leaf Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter #1820

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Soils- Fertilizers and Mulches
from: Luster Leaf


Last year I planted a tree and didn't know if I was giving it too much or too little water. This year I have this handy device to help me. The directions say it's for house plants, but it's working great for my newly planted trees. I can finally tell when they need water and can avoid over watering.

Luster Leaf Rapitest Soil Test Kit #1601

It seems to work Great care must be taken in opening the capsules as they contain a very loose powder and the aim is to put them in a very small hole. I recommend doing it over a plate so spillage can be recovered.

I used it on stink bugs that were invading my home, and it did stop them well, but for waht I thought was an organic product, this had a very strong chemical odor.

Luster Leaf Rapitest Electronic 4 Way Analyzer #1880

This unit is very useful for measuring soil moisture and sunlight. While I wasn't in a position to evaluate the fertility feature, I do know that the ph testing is useless.

When I tested the commercial soil in my potted plants, I noticed that they all indicated a ph of 7. To my surprise, my yard and garden soil also indicated 7. Since I have heavy clay soil in my yard I began to suspect that the Rapitest was inaccurate.

I took a couple 1/2 cup soil samples out of the garden and put them in small seed pots, carefully followed the Rapitest instructions for ph testing and still came up with a ph of 7. I added two tablespoons of vinegar to one of the samples and two tablespoons of baking soda to the other. Results? ... Read More:

I picked mine up from Home Depot and like the other reviewer said....it only gives a neutral pH of 7.

For fun, I put a good amound of Baking Soda (akaline) into a glass of tap water...still reads 7.

Luster Leaf Rapitest Mini Soil Moisture Meter #1810

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Soils- Fertilizers and Mulches
from: Luster Leaf


I saw many negative reviews so I must report I have had a different experience. I tend to use potting mix or loamy soils so I don't know if that is a factor. However in meter seems to report put water as maximum as I expect. With soils I known to be completely dry is reports as dry. In one section where I have peas it quickly reports as being on the dry side as I would expect as they are heavy water users when making pods.
I would certainly test against known conditions to make sure the unit is working but it certainly has made is much easier for me to quickly gage water.
