The Faithfull pH Meter Probe for Soil is an essential soil testing instrument designed for professional gardeners and horticultural enthusiasts who need accurate pH readings to optimise growing conditions. This analogue meter provides a quick, no-fuss method of measuring soil acidity and alkalinity levels, delivering accurate results in just 60 seconds without requiring batteries. Understanding soil pH is crucial for plant health, as different species thrive in different pH ranges.
This meter enables gardeners to test soil conditions before planting and adjust pH levels accordingly using appropriate amendments. It's particularly useful for establishing the ideal growing environment for outdoor plants, shrubs, vegetables, fruit and trees, helping to identify the most suitable areas in your garden for specific crops. The meter features a simple analogue needle display showing the acid-alkaline range, making it straightforward to interpret results and take action.
To increase pH, lime can be added in the form of ground agricultural limestone, burnt lime or hydrated lime. To decrease pH and increase acidity, aluminium sulphate or sulphur are effective, with aluminium sulphate providing the quickest results as it acts immediately upon dissolving into the soil. Features and Benefits: • Analogue needle indicator for easy-to-read pH measurements • Delivers accurate soil readings in just 60 seconds • No batteries required for maintenance-free operation • Ideal for testing soil conditions for fruit and vegetable cultivation
