Can this probe bring up a soil sample to check the moisture around trees.

no, the rod is not hollow so it comes out clean, it will only penetrate the soil but if it hits rocks you are stuck to have to move it around. I have very rocky soil, granite the size of bowling balls or larger so the probe did not work very well for me, it's very well made and the rod is strong, it never bent while using it.

No, this probe is for locating pipes, septic tanks etc. Not much bigger than a pencil in width.

The UEi test instrument has its measuring sensor inside the end of the instrument and can only measure the moisture in the air going into the sensor. To measure the moisture in the wood you need a probe that would go into the wood. The feature that makes the UEi instrument so usable is the rapid response of measurement of temperature and humidity.

Yes, contact your county agriculture agent. For a small fee they will test your soil. Look them up on line and they will explain what you need to do..

Yes! The probe it comes with is braided with stainless steel and is usable up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the manufacturer.

Yes, the soil should be wet and soft. I have used this device but for me it shows similar readings no matter what I test so I am not sure how accurate it is.

Yes it does, and by the way this is the best moisture probe I have ever used.

As with anything it depends on how much work you're willing to do. If you wave it over a pile of leaves 5 feet high, probably not. If the leaves are spread out over a larger area and you work over each area you'll probably be successfully. I think it's fairly sensative but someone else may not think so but I bought it to scan reclaimed lumber.

Yes it could be used. However you may need to drill holes for the temperature probes.

The meter is very simple. A needle lies on to of a "meter?" and the meter runs from 0 to 10. The needle tells you the moisture in the soil. Seems accurate.

It is taken just at the bottom. There is a notch 2 inches from the tip of the probe that indicates how far to insert it into the soil.

No don't do that . they have a cheap ph soil tester at lowes tests ph ,moisture and light thats what i use.

The meter displays the amount of moisture in the ground on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being very wet. As an example, I had 4 large areas in my lawn which were turning yellow. I thought that I was not getting enough moisture. When I put the probe in the different areas, I found that the moisture content was 5, the same as in other green areas. I did some digging and found that i had a bug. Bill bugs.

Yes. It can be used to test concrete for moisture content. It will not give you an accurate moisture percentage but does give information about whether the slab is dry or not thru green, yellow, and red lights.

Yes, but if you use it for pure hydroponics you will always get full wet because it registers how much water there is between the two probes. To be of use for moisture testing it has to be inserted in soil...or sand..or any medium that contains moisture. But if you are asking if the ph feature will work in only liquid the answer is yes.

I used it to saturate the soil around the house, I would think it would work here as well.If the tree is or was infested, it may die.

Not with the included probes, you'd need an amp clamp to do that. Their clamp style probe has low resolution with currents under 1 amp but I've heard their thread-style amp probe is more accurate with those situations.

I used my probe to check water temperature and now it does not work. I would say you should not use this probe to check liquids.
