Moisture meters measure % of moisture they are not only "calibrated to

concrete plaster or wood.


You're shooting yourself in the foot, Bubba ... show me were it is
calibrated for GRASS!

If you check around further you will find ample evidence that moisture
meters are notoriously inaccurate with bamboo flooring.
