its a cheap meter but it will get you in the ball park. its better then nothing. and i think you want a ph or to be around 6.8 for soil.

Nope dont even bother with that thing, And its not for use in water, soil only. They arent even within 3 full points on the ph. The moisture gauge works great, so does the light meter, the ph is way way fucking off.

yeah your better off with a drop test ph if your short on cash, and get some ph down acid, just a few drops will do it
