Don't be afraid of the little reagent kits, they're easy to use and accurate and cheap! Think of them like little science kits. :)

Is it the ph part that doesn't work? I've never used one but I was considering DIYing some two-spike moisture sensors

I think it's the PH part from some other comments but I can confidently say the moisture part works pretty well. I have been using one for about a year and it's been helpful.

Oh, you've just made me remember @pothos on Twitter, which used to tweet out messages asking to be watered, and thanking the owner for watering them :)
