i just baught a rapitest soil ph meter i was just wondering on its reliability, how reliable is it really? i tested my soil with it and it shot up to 8, then after a few seconds it stabilized at 7ph, so i decided to water with pure ro water at 5.8ph to try and lower the soil ph, but i tested it with the ph meter right after and it still did the same thing, so is it working properly or is it just really un accurate? or is my method for lowering ph in the soil wrong? i juast assumed that if i gave it enopugh water at a lower ph it would eventually lower the soil ph
If you pay less than $20 for a ph meter (unless its a one use kit), it doesnt work. Go on ebay and get a Hanna Combo Meter for about $80 shipped.
i got a good hanna red ph meter and a good hannd blue tds meter, but i wanted a meter just for the soil exactly like this one, can anyone suggest one? price doesnt matter, i just want to see the selections of soil ph test meters/kits that are out there so i may choose one that works very good
