Wondering where to locate your vegetable garden? Or maybe your flowers aren\u2019t blooming as they should. In all these instances, you\u2019ll need the best soil pH tester to know what nutrients your garden is missing.<\/p>\n

pH testers have become a necessity for anyone dealing with live plants \u2013 both indoors and outdoors. These revolutionary devices monitor the hydrogen-ion activity in soil and display the current alkalinity or acidity level. It\u2019s this level that is known as the soils pH.<\/p>\n

So, why do gardeners need to know this magic number? The pH levels of your soil are essential for plants ability to take in nutrients. If not corrected early enough, a lower or higher soil pH can have damaging effects on the plants nutrition, growth, and life cycle. Testing the soil regularly will not only help identify nutrient deficiencies, it will also provide a complete assessment of your entire garden or yard.<\/p>\n

There are different types of soil pH testers currently in the market. That\u2019s why you need to take a few factors into consideration to get the best model for your intended purposes.<\/p>\n

The first thing to look for is ease of use. Nobody wants to get stuck with messy chemical experiments.<\/p>\n

Another feature to look out for is how accurate the meter is. Does is go through all the 8 available pH levels or does it skip a few numbers in between? And if there\u2019s a probe, a long one allows for better testing.<\/p>\n

For more advanced tests, you could pick out a pH meter with multiple measurements for moisture, temperature, and even light levels in the soil.<\/p>\n

I have tested tested dozens of pH meters in different types of soil to find the best ones. I passed the devices though dry, damp, and wet earth and even sampled soils near dumps, factories and forests to run the scale from alkalinity to acidity. Here are the best soil pH testers designed to suit different purposes.<\/p>\n
