Soil PH Meter
Used by Professional Lawn Care Companies and Nurseries. Wonderful for serious gardeners who want to check the pH level in their garden. This soil pH meter is simple and easy to use. Test your soil with accuracy and ease to determine if you need to adjust soil acidity. The pH scale ranging from 0 to 14 is used to indicate acidity and alkalinity. A pH of 7.0 is neutral, values below 7.0 are acid, and those above are alkaline. The lower the pH the more acid is the soil. The higher the pH, the more alkaline. The pH values of some common items are: pure water, 7.0: lemon juice, 2.2 to 2.4; orange juice, 3.4 to 4.0; fresh milk, 6.3 to 6.6; mild soap solution, 8.5 to 10.0; most Ontario soils, 4.5 to 8.0. Soil pH is important chiefly because of the many effects it has on biological and chemical activity of the soil, which effects the metabolism of your plants.

Great Product! Easy to use!
I have a small farm (5 acres) with several gardens and a lot of grass. With basic soil tests for PH running about each from the agricultural extension office, this solid little meter nearly paid for itself in the first 30 minutes out of the box!
Just read the instructions, follow the instructions, and each PH reading takes about 3 minutes. Since I had recently had some soil sammples done, I was able to pretty much verify that the gage was "spot-on" by sampling some known areas.
It also comes with a handy reference for PH levels for just about everything you can grow, what a super and well-made product!
Good pH Meter
I was a little skeptical about this pH meter when I ordered it. The instructions said to just insert it in the ground, but most people who review pH meters say to always add water to the soil. I didn't want to add water because our tapwater is very hard and alkaline. I do not think I would get a valid reading after adding tapwater. However, this pH meter worked fine without any added water. At first I thought I was getting more acidic readings where the ground was wetter, because the soil located away from our concrete driveway was moist and soft, while that nearby the driveway was drier and hard. Then I tested it down by our barn, where there was standing water next to a limestone gravel drive. The soil was soft and measured alkaline, as it should have. I am convinced that the meter works as promised in the instructions.
Seems to provide acurate readings
I had tried other testers that did not seem to be accurate. This one did seem to provide accurate readings. It is much more expensive than others but at least it works!
Great Tool
I am very pleased with my soil pH meter. In no more than 3 minutes I know what I'm dealing with; no muss, no fuss, no waits, no fees.
Soil PH meter a great tool in my southwestern US garden
After trying with spotty success to grow a variety of shrubs, flowers, and trees in our southwestern US suburban half-acre lot, I turned to the possibility that our soil -- it is mostly clay former Rio Grande river bed -- was out of the PH range many plants wanted to see. Several years of applying iron sulfate helped a lot, but how much was enough, and how much was too much? I saw and bought this PH meter. Indeed, the PH varies widely from place to place in our yard. This meter does a great job of indicating how much PH change we need -- and where we need it. We have healthier, greener plants with no excess expenditure on iron sulphate (Ironite) which is not inexpensive. The meter is a great tool!
