Preparation of Meter
Lightly abrade probe but not top, with fine abrasive paper.
Wipe with cloth or tissue.
Taking a pH Reading
Insert the probe into the soil with a twisting motion.
Leave for one minute then read dial.
Remove, clean and prepare probe as previously described and repeat above by inserting the probe into a different but adjacent point to check the first reading.
Assessing the Reading
A reading of 4 to 7 = acidic soil. A reading or 7 to 8 = alkaline soil.
To reduce acidity apply 300g/m2 of ground limestone for every 1 pH increase required.
To increase acidity apply 70g/m2 of sulphate of ammonia.

Gardman pH meter
OK. I had been given the same item but the lower end had come off the sensor wire. this one works well , thanks
Australiagardman ph meter
useless. did not register a reading even though operating instructions were followed. not recommended.
AustraliaGreat
This is actually a great pH meter. Very accurate. A lot of people think they aren't. Try testing it in Vinegar or Gatorade, then tap water. It gives correct readings for all of them. Make sure you use it after watering the soil! It's doesn't read dry soil as accurately as wet soil. These are better than the yellow plastic digital pH meters available online. The motherboard wiring on those things is pathetic. I had one that lasted a month before it broke. Great service/fast delivery from Botanex too. Thank you.
AustraliaFeedback on item
Totally satisfied. This item does pretty much as well (accurate) as my soil Test Kit. thank you so much for stocking it as could not seem to acquire it anywhere else. All the best to your business.
