Welcome to Our Favorite Products, a monthly feature about time and weather products we’re loving right now. A new soil moisture meter and rain gauges are at the top of our list this April. See how and why we're using these products!

Soil Moisture Meter

Why We Love It: “I have been looking for something like this for years. In my garden, I want to make sure that everything I have planted is getting the proper moisture to make healthy and beautiful plants. I just push the Soil Moisture Meter down to the depth of the roots to get the best moisture reading for my plants. The meter tells me how wet or dry my plants are within seconds. I love that it takes the guesswork out of watering my plants. See just how easy it is to use this soil moisture meter in my latest YouTube video demo.”

Rain Monitoring System with My AcuRite

Why We Love It: “It’s been fun tracking our rainfall with my three young kids! We're able to track historical records and get alerts when we've hit lows or highs. It's cool to be able to have the data at my fingertips and see what's going on in our backyard, even when we're far away."
