Environmental Concepts pH7 Dual Probe Soil PH Meter

Very simple to use and provides quick results. I purchased this to test soil on different parts of my small farm, so I could amend the soil as necessary for planting. I was so surprised how easy this was to use. I carried around some disposable plastic cups, added soil and a little water just to dampen and consolidate the soil, stuck the prongs in, and had readings within seconds. Then I simple rinsed the prongs off and went on to test the next samples. I even sometimes simply just stuck the prongs directly into the soil, which still gave me decent readings, but I do think it is better to dampen the soil in a cup or container, so you have the most accurate sampling. But, this is a great tool for gardeners or farmers. It is so easy to use and there are no batteries to worry about.

Simple and function as expected. Easy to use

Bought this metre to measure the pH of my garden soil. Does not work. The metre is always pegged at seven. I have another metre that I find hard to use because the probe is very wide and difficult to get into the soil but it works. I can compare the measurements of the environmental concepts metre to my old Metre so I know what the reading should be approximately. The environmental concepts metre doesn’t work at all period.

Did not work, I followed the instructions to the letter. It asks you to mix dirt into a cup with water and then take the reading, and clean the probes with the pad that's included between uses. I did this from several areas in the yard. It never budged from 7. I even put it in vinegar after I did all that just to see. Nope, never moved from 7 (neutral). I left it for many minutes and walked away, just to make sure. I even put it into the ground (gently) around various parts of the yard, it did not budge from neutral.

Does the job!
