Try this if you think your meter is not working properly

After the first two tests it read 7.0 and I've read reviews that the meter always reads 7.0 regardless of the actual pH. I decided to do a test. I took soil from one of the previously measured spots, added 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the soil, dampened the soil with water as directed, mixed and tested. The meter reads 6.5. I did the fourth test, added 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the soil, moistened, mixed and the counter read 5.8. So my meter works. If others are skeptical or concerned thatโ€ฆ

Simple to use, easy to read and gives quick results

Very easy to use and gives quick results. I bought this to test the soil in different parts of my small farm so I can change the soil for planting as needed. I was so surprised how easy it was to use. I carried around some disposable plastic cups, added soil and some water to moisten and compact the soil, stuck the pins in and got a reading within seconds. Then I simply washed the pens and tested the next samples. Sometimes I even stuck the pins straight into the soil, which still gave me aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • For use with soil only
Cons
  • So far so good

Good. Be careful with Tho tines

Works well, tines are always difficult to keep clean so use caution when testing. I will advise anyone growing outdoors to plow the original soil and add dolime, which will automatically bring the soil pH back to neutral. The cup testing method works to a degree, but in most cases it is best to plow directly into the soil, soak and test. Using distilled water is questionable as it typically has a pH below neutral. Using a batch of 7.0 neutral water will have less effect on soil pH once it isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Automatically measures soil pH
Cons
  • Not sure
