That’s reading about 4 inches. Ignore the inner sponge — go by the blue that’s visible. We love it because we can tell from the house how much rain we get because that blue pops up out of the copper base.
Our summers are generally dry, but this year wasn’t too bad. But then August came along and dried out once more. So you can imagine how pleased I was to find two inches in my gauge the other day!
Is that reading 4″ or 3″ ?
I’m confused on how it works exactly.

I know that feeling, Robin! Rain always makes me happy. Water is precious.
