Review: Ph tester - Its working ok
Review: good, cheap, accurate - I was very skeptical about buying this little guy to check my soil ph/moisture after reading reviews, but after looking at others it seems that no soil ph tester has good reviews so I decided to give it a shot. It works great for me, I also ordered strip test too to test accuracy and it's right on the money. As far as the reviews saying the probes on tester break easy....are you people trying to test the ph of concrete? I'm not gentle with mine, just stick it in the soil and turn it to either setting and bingo. I can't speak for these other guys, but it does clearly say to test soil not liquids in the instructions. Yeah, I know like most people I wasn't going to read em either but after reading these reviews I thought to myself, maybe these bad reviews could be user error? Clearly that was the case. I try to take reviews with a grain of salt anyway. I tested my plants soil before and it was WAYYY too acidic (miracle grow), as I thought. I replanted with FF ocean forest which is suppose to be neutral and when I tested my soil again, sure enough it was. Now my plants are doing great! Moisture test works well too, keeps me from over-watering.

### ⭐ Is This Thing On?
*by S***C on 9 April 2011*

I saw a lot of negative reviews about this item, but there were also a lot of positive ones, and it looked like those who had trouble had not followed the instructions properly--so I gave it a try. I should've listened to the bad reviews. I never put the tester in any liquid. I followed the directions exactly. I tried it in different soils, some of which were fairly dry, and some that had just been watered, some with fertlizer/some without. The indicator never moved. It stayed in the exact same spot no matter what type or condition of soil I tested. When I pick it back up, the needle wiggles, so I know it's not stuck in place. It just doesn't work. I can stick my finger in the soil next to my plants and know more than this thing can tell me. Save your money.
