Will it work in rocky soil? Outdoors.

I have only used it on orchids indoors, and it does a wonderful job. I don't know why it would work outside. You just stick it in the soil and when it registers the water content, you remove it. You don't leave it stuck in the dirt.

Peggy, This will work outdoors, but the soil needs to have enough dirt/compost in it for the probe to sense how much moisture is in the soil. If using in flower beds, remove as much rock from the testing areas as possible to get an accurate reading.Danny Sinclair - Owner - Purple Martin Propagators - www.BirdHouseInfo.com :: 512-825-4712

I believe it should. If not return the product.As a side note, I have been happy with this product - been using it for about three months or so and it has been extensively outdoors too.

It would work for areas with large rock that you dont want to remove the whole rock, but it may not work well for soil.

i never tried it --only had my sons lift quite large dirt-filled pots. I would think it would work for rocks as well, but can't say for sure.

I think there is no perfect answer. For city and walking on sidewalks, this is wonderful. It won't do well on rocks or uneven ground. I am happy?

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

If you have a low-pile carpet, like a Berber or an area rug, it would probably do o.k. We have a pretty high-pile, and it doesn't do well on that. Ours has never been outside (potential rocks from outside would scratch our wood floors), but I'm sure it would work great, especially on a smoother concrete, asphalt, or garage floor. I think it would even work fine on an aggregate. Hope that helps!

As long as it's covered and protective by rain or snow ... You should be OK. It's not adapted to be laying on the ground outside for sure. It truly works like a charm. Hope that helped. Happy shopping!

From my experience with this soil. It could be used for outside ground I use it and works fine. I guess it's just the way they advertise it one other thing it's a hevei soil it maintains a lot of moist so just watch that watering. But it should be fine. Good luck.

Yes. Works best if it is outside. Just make sure it protected for harsh weather.

Probably would on artificial grass but not do well on pebbles. I tried it on blossoms but it didn't do well because it doesn't get down to the dirt level.

I personally try to use mine when the ground is wetter because it is softer and the roots pull out better as opposed to breaking off - but I'm in central IL and can't speak to rocky soil.

I've never tried it but I doubt if it will work in dirt. Since it is not contained by the walls of a pipe I though it would be almost impossible to control. Just my opinion.

I think it would. It is sturdy, and stable. I think it would grip even in rocky areas. My husband loves it. He has bad knees and uses it to fix broken sprinkler's around the yard. It's wonderful to sit on and pick raspberries in our rocky patch.

It tends to spin out on uneven grounds but we just help it along ! If it's a smooth path it will do fine it does great in the gravel on the grass or on pavement !

I'm sorry I have not used this on rough terrain. The mount is really sturdy and the light fits securely into it, I would assume that it would work well. I have only used it on the road.

I have mine sitting on unleveled rocks and it still functions. It is not as smooth as if it were on level ground but it works
