It measures the mineral content in the water that you put on and in your plants, I read about TDS meters on flytrapcare.com and it helped me out quite a bit in seeing how much mineral content is in my water, for CP's it should be way below 50, the nutrients in the soil will harm and even kill your plants, Coline is lucky because wherever he gets his peat from it is very clean and his water is low in minerals also, I believe he can use his home water for his plants as I have to buy mine from the reverse osmosis water machines near me, that water out of the machine measures at about 4ppm to 12ppm which is great for our plants.

lol no, home water is more than 300ppm from what I may see using a GH KH fishtank test. and in the extremely rare and catastrophic case I would use up my 800L rain reserve I still have a deionizer that leaves 2ppm and gives me water at a cost of 5c/L

Perfect! I wish I had room and $$$ to set that up for my plants, maybe in the future.
