cichita,
Here is how I prefer to utilize this technique. Find a place in your pot that you can leave the chopstick/skewer. Leave it there full time only removing it to check the moisture level in the soil. Hold it to your cheek, or the underside of your wrist, and you should be able to tell if the soil is still damp. The advantage of this method is that you are able to tell what's going on under the surface.
