Meter experience.

I bought my first pH meter from Gurney's Only one avaiable
from seed suppliers. At the time.

I stuck it a plie of fresh horse manure, aged compost, garden
and some road wash. No mater what it did I got the same reading

Two years later, I found one by AMI in my local garden shop It was
better.

The one I got at Wal-Mart fell apart when I tried to use it.

I am sure that there are some good ones out there, I just haven't
found them yet.

I just ordered a Kelway from Vesey's seeds $53.00 Stainless model
Hope this is better than the Chinese junk.

While I am on meters, Totally Tomatoes has a meter called a 
"Fertilizer Analyzer" In the ad, they lead you to believe you can read 
the N P K separately, When you get the meter, you have a scale of
0-3   

Scale readings
0 to 1 "Too Little" 
1 to 2 "Ideal" 
2 to 3 "Too Much"

FYI, Attempted 3 times to get a confirmation number for return
with no response.

I tossed in my "F'd" again pile.
