Take a cup of soil and add enough distilled water to make it runny,let sit then stick your normal ph pen in.As long as its soupy it works.Clean your probe after.

Slurry test right?

You're talking about a slurry test. That's not what he was talking about. He was saying he sticks his pen in the soil like a soil probe.

Yup,most use paper test strips,litmus paper.But a normal probe works too.

He said wet soil ,so how wet?

 

[myke]

Good point.

The cheap vivosun ph meter I originally bought, isn't accurate anyways. Lol

 

[PadawanWarrior]

Moist-Wet

He's not talking about a slurry test.

This is what he said:

"yes to the storage solution and yes to the 'water ph probe' in soil. probably the same probe, just on the end of a stick. i think anyways, to the 'water ph pen' see below..

this style of ph pen works fine, sticking in moist-wet soil for me "

If it's looks like this it's useless. Well I've heard it's OK for the moisture meter.
I put one of these in my cart to get free shipping and save couple bucks once. Thing was a joke. It just sits in the pile of other useless shit I bought to grow that I thought I needed but didn’t..

Give it a try if you have a pen,Ive just bin using drops.Have to filter it first though to see color.

I've done slurry tests before. The BlueLab soil probe is way easier and more accurate though.

I don't trust soil meters. Soil test is the only for sure way in my opinion.

When you say soil test are you meaning slurry test?

Not interested in reading your cut and paste. See attached that you cut and pasted from a lawn forum, where people even pointed out that the orginal post contained incorrect information lol

Not interested in listening to you. I listen to people like Premier, and others that do this for a living.

Stick a clone in your dirt is the best pH meter lol.

Not to mention ripping off quotes from homeowner's on a lawn forum. Seriously?

 

[Milky Weed]

I can taste the ph of my soil.

Just fyi, my business applies lime....that IS what I do for a living. Just had to intervene after seeing your nonsense you were posting

No, I mean send it out. I'm sure that's probably all they do too, but I believe Jeremy says their slurry test is a lil different if I remember correctly.
