watering and testing for dryness in pumice

Recently there was a discussion on watering cans. It made me realise
that mine were not suitable for watering tiny seedlings. The one several
people were raving about, is not available here in New Zealand.
However, I did find an English one which is available here. Haws. I
could not afford the big one, but bought a small seedling watering can.
I think it is cute. I know, I can hear the groans.... But it isn't
just cute, it does the job beautifully. So thanks for that discussion.
It woke me up to a problem I didn't know I had.

However, the next part is how to tell how dry my big containers are
which have a mix of 3/4 pumice x 1/4 potting mix. I bought a cheap
thing which has prongs to put into the pumice, but of course not enough
touches the prongs. What do others use?
