Bought terrible and normal measuring soil acidity

I have dreamed about for a long time meter soil acidity. Represented in an ideal litmus paper. Only buy it did not work. Local shops do not sell, and a suitable online store did not come across.

And so the question became critical. It is necessary to plant blueberries and cranberries, which like acidic soil. Peat from the village we ordered for them, but the acidity of the soil, which we eventually get, measure would not hurt.

terrible

I came to Leroy Merlin, look: Test system "Agrochemistry" to determine the acidity of the soil. Joy that I found an inexpensive package, already bought 5 pieces.

Box worth 48 p., In her 5 vials of 5 soil samples. It turns out, I bought 25 samples. After the acidity of each meter can be different.

Nowadays, people first of all begins to look for reviews on the Internet. So do I. I found a video where people all meticulously made and has shown results. Thanks to him. Impressed! The next day passed that stuff back, did not even try.

Reminded guesswork.

• An extract from the soil is muddy, it is very affects the color after the addition of the indicator. Umbridae red, blue umbridae upon, and on the scale of red and blue.
• Some cultures need a pH of substantially below 5, and the scale in this system begins with pH 5
• This wonder chemistry reacts with glass (???)) through 3 chasa color of the solution begins to change to an alkaline side. Man is shown.
• Proportion strange: 5-6 tablespoons spoons of soil on half a liter of boiled water. weight of soil is very different, one clay, whose black earth.

• On the color effect and the water, we recommend that you measure the acidity of the water, and then do her a discount.

After such a prospect I immediately wanted to buy the device, which I was afraid of. A good reviews about it. Bought! In the same store.

Normal

3 in 1 is not interesting to me yet. It began to measure the acidity of water and soil.

Today will show its first measurements and observations. Then, I am seeking a better instrument and write another article. It works by solar battery. If you do not show anything, it is necessary to wipe the tentacles, then reveals.

Wipe clean with a cloth and a paper towel. Objective: To erase oxides.

The pH scale is color red corresponds to acidic soils, alkaline blue.

This portion of the daughter at pH 6.0

Under clematis pH 5.5, it is now clear why he chlorosis!

Still measured an water from the tap, something sour it at us, pH 5.5. If the device is not lying.

So far, that's all.

Have you measured the acidity of the soil? Share your experience.

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
