My $20 moisture meter was off by 40% the whole time

I was testing soil moisture in my backyard garden here in Austin last week and noticed my plants were looking rough. Turned out my cheap moisture meter from Amazon was reading way high. I borrowed my neighbor's $80 one and the difference was almost half. Has anyone else had a similar problem with those cheap three-prong meters?

Guess that $20 bought you a 40% discount on accuracy.

Ditched mine after comparing with a cheap finger test. Way more reliable.
