pH
When buying new plants for a new or established garden, it is important to test the pH of your soil to ensure the acidity levels are correct. Your soil's pH may be quite different in various parts of your garden, and therefore each area that you intend to plant should be tested.

pH and Your Soil
pH describes how acid or alkaline a soil is. A reading of pH7 is neutral, above means a chalky, alkaline soil. Whilst reading below pH7 down to pH4 indicate an acidic soil.

Soil Testing
Plants vary in their preferences towards a high, neutral or low pH and you can see at a glance what your plants prefer in our plant pH Preference list which accompanies the meter. By using our soil pH tester you can decide either to alter your soil or buy plants which are suitable for your soil type.

Place the probe into the container of prepared soil. Stir once or twice to ensure that the soil is well distributed over the surface of the probe. Wait for 60 seconds and take a reading. Compare your test results for each area of soil and check against the pH Preference of the plants you wish to plant. Most plants have a tolerance of at leas 1pH point.

The Soil pH Meter
This soil pH meter has been specially designed to make caring for our plants easier in the greenhouse, conservatory and garden. The extra length probe is particularly effective when testing large pot plants. The 'curly' expandable cable allows you to hold the meter in the most convenient position to make an accurate reading whilst the probe remains in the soil, possibly obscured by foliage, or awkwardly above one's eye level in a hanging basket.

The probe can slide into the back of the meter, enabling use with one hand. You can also clip the meter to your belt to enable you to carry it around the garden.
