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?

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
