I test the ph of the water that collects in the catch tray after watering.good question i was wondering the same thing how do you check the pH of ur soil if u dont have a meter thats made for soil just the pH drops
Well, to be more precise, you want to check the final runoff...not just 'whats in the tray'.I test the ph of the water that collects in the catch tray after watering.
I read that you can make a slurry of soil and water and test with an EC meter.Well, to be more precise, you want to check the final runoff...not just 'whats in the tray'.
If you're catching it in a tray, remove the bulk of it and just test the last bit that dribbles out. That will give you a somewhat more accurate ph reading of your soil.
