Salt buildup guide

A clue that salts or fertilizer may be building up. When levels get too high, roots can struggle to drink.

01

Read the latest value and timestamp

Confirm the reading reading is fresh enough to describe current conditions.

02

Compare the surrounding evidence

Look at the recent trend, weather, plant stage, and reading and salt buildup instead of treating one value as a diagnosis.

03

Act on a consistent signal

Prefer a repeated pattern plus a visible garden symptom before making a large correction.
