Garden Shed: Doctor Frog Moisture Meter

By MARIANNE BINETTI
SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER

You'll never forget to water your plants again if you invest in the Doctor Frog Moisture Meter.

 Doctor Frog

The little green frog has wire legs that stick into the soil to measure the level of moisture. Once the soil is dry, a chirping sound alerts you to offer a drink.

A very polite light sensor makes sure the frog croaks out its warning only during daylight hours.

This would make a great gift for kids just learning to care for plants.

Price: $6.95. Seen at Magnolia Garden Center and Molbak's.
