Hi C-H's,

RE:

>own pH meter

Caution: Measuring pH is not as easy as measuring temperature. The above
statement implies that every gardener should therefore have a knowledge of
chemistry sufficient to understand the meaning of pH and the ability to
calibrate and use a delicate piece of scientific equipment. Don't bother;
for the simple reason that you do not need to know accurately what the pH
is for gardening or canning food. "About 6" or "below 4" is good enough.
Buy cheap soil test indicators or pH paper. Spend your money on hot stuff!
                     Regards,               Cameron.
