€14,99
Description
A device that allows you to quickly and easily measure soil pH, moisture, and insolation! It's indispensable for growing plants and lawns!
- An essential garden tool - the multifunctional soil tester is an indispensable tool for growing vegetables, fruits, flowers, and lawns.
- Three functions - this device allows you to check the pH value (acidity), moisture, and soil insolation in your backyard garden, greenhouse, or on the balcony!
- Easy to use – simply prepare a small portion of soil to be tested, insert the device, wait 60 seconds, and that's it – you can then read all the values!
- Wide measurement range – this device allows you to read 10 moisture levels, pH levels from 3 to 10, and insolation from 0 to 2000.
- No batteries needed! - The soil pH meter does not require batteries, and readings are taken directly from the scale mounted on the device!
Parameters such as pH (acidity), moisture, and soil insolation have a fundamental impact on the healthy development and beautiful appearance of cultivated plants, as well as on the size and quality of harvests. Therefore, if you want to take your vegetable, fruit, and flower cultivation to a higher level, you need one indispensable device – the multifunctional "three-in-one" soil tester. This device is easy to use, does not require batteries, and readings are taken directly from the scale built into the tester's plastic housing!
How to take measurements
- Prepare one soil sample (300 – 400 g) and remove stones, grass stems, roots, leaves, etc.
- Pour the soil into a 0.5 L container and add a little water to moisten the soil.
- Carefully clean the tip of the meter with rough paper or a brush and insert the probe into the prepared soil sample.
- After 60 seconds, record the readings from the device's scale.
- Knowing the soil pH value greatly facilitates planning and later helps maintain optimal conditions for cultivated plants. Most garden plants grow best in soil that is slightly acidic or neutral (pH 6.0–7.0).
Soil with such parameters is friendly to the development of beneficial microorganisms, and mineral nutrients are easily accessible to plant roots. Overly acidic soil destroys beneficial bacteria and causes fungal mold, and minerals form water-insoluble chemical compounds.
Soil Acidity Classes:
Very acidic soil – pH up to 4.5
Acidic soil - pH 4.5 - 5.
Slightly acidic soil – pH 5.6–6.
Neutral soil - pH 6.6 - 7.
Alkaline soil – pH above 7.2
Adding sulfur to the soil lowers its pH, while adding lime increases it. Since the amount of these additives depends on the soil type, it is essential to consult an appropriate gardening guide when choosing them.
Smaller doses of sulfur (lime) are used for light soils with low humus content, and larger doses for fertile soils rich in humus.
The correct soil pH value is maintained by using appropriate fertilizers.
