i recently bought a moisture meter to monitor my plants' watering (i have all container gardens). what is the best place to stick the moisture meter stick in the pot: close to the edge, close to the plant, halfway in between the plant & the edge of the pot? the instructions on the moisture meter covered everything but that particular topic. :)

Information here may be outdated?
Moisture meters like the one you have purchased are notoriously unreliable. Throw it away and use your finger instead.
You probably think I'm being an arrogant asshole, but after a month or so of trying to use your meter you will find I was correct.

Wow, people actually buy those things?
I have to agree but don't feel too bad, I bought one years ago myself.
Use your finger or a toothpick.
