[cough_cough_eer]

I need a ph meter for soil. I looking for something in the under $50.00 range, but I want to get a good one. Anybody know anything about them???

good question cough_cough, do you mind if i add another question about hydro ph meters in here, just thought it would save starting a new thread for a similiar topic?

My local fish store wants to sell me a ph meter for $120 AU. Is this a good price or am i being jibbed?

Good luck on finding a soil meter couch_cough.
All the best,

PS: I have a manual soil ph test kit your welcome to if you like, i dont use it anymore.

Thanks for the offer Leeroy, thats very nice and I'm glad you decided to stay with the icmag.,but I have those here and not sure as to how accurate they are. I think like aquarium test kits, they lose accuracy with age(found that out the hard way with my fish tank) and they do not have an experation date.

Although I use the stick meters, I back up the accuracy with a flush of distilled water, ph is 7.0 and check the runoffs ph with a regular meter.

yes actually DWW, I was looking at that one from inside sun. probably end up getting it . My home depot doesn't carry the meters but usually they have the capsuls. I went to a nursery and they had replacement capsuls sold one in a package. Well I needed more.The guy asked me why I needed so many. uuummmm tomatoes planted in pots.
badmf~~ that was my next question , about calibration, thanks
