    I probably wouldn't add anything if there doesn't seem to be a problem.

    Then again, I probably wouldn't use rainwater in the first place... so I don't really know. :smoke:

    Don´t waste your money on a useless pH meter. Add lime to your compost, about an ounce a gallon.

    Cheers for the info man, a gr8 help :)

    Rain water is one of the best things to water your plants with durban, it has a ph of 5.5 to 6.0 so its good for the plants, hence y no1 checks their ph outdoors.
