Soil pH meter under $50 ???
#16099 - 04/30/08 10:52 PM (16 years, 8 months ago )
i'm looking for an at least half decent soil pH meter to prevent me from torturing my plants any further. can anyone recommend something that does the job and won't be too expensive?

ebay has a half decent version of the "spike" pH/moisture meters, a $30 chinese version of the $60-$100 legit pH "spike" meter. i might just have to settle for that, cause i've looked and looked.... i'll wait to see if someone chimes in with an answer. thaNKs for ALl attempTS to ANswer

coda, thanks for the explanation. makes complete sense to me, soil pH meters are meant more for outdoor actual soil beds i guess. so i should be fine with just my drop+match pH kit
