Pro tip: my water meter told me I'd been killing my ferns for 3 years

I used to water my Boston ferns every single morning out of habit until my neighbor in Tucson asked why I was soaking them in 110 degree heat. She handed me a $12 moisture meter, and every pot I checked was already soggy at the root. Now I water when the top two inches are dry and my ferns actually survived August. Anyone else water on a schedule instead of actually checking the soil?
