GAIN EXPRESS Soil Acidity Meter, Moisture Meter, Soil Measuring Instrument, Soil pH Meter, 11.6 inches (295 mm), Long Electrode, Japanese Instruction Manual (English Language Not Guaranteed)

Pur utilizzandolo in vari tipi di terreno, l'unica cosa che percepisce decentemente è l'umidità mentre per il PH è decisamente poco preciso.

The item arrived on time. The ground has been very hard so have only just started to use it so as not to damage the Tester Meter. It seems to be working well, but time will tell as it has only been used twice. It is being used to test the soil on mothing sites as the National Park does not have the information and it is invaluable information for the Lepidopterist.

Me gusto es practico y fácil de usar, lo único que no me gusta es que al momento de enterrarlo profundamente se siente como roza con lo que parecen ser piedras pequeñas y por lo mismo a veces se suele rayar de la varilla metálica; y espero que eso no afecte en la precisión de los datos que arroga.

This is a good quality built instrument with a probe long enough to get down in the soil for a good reading. It seems pretty accurate. The only thing you've got to remember about this tool is that it takes a few minutes to get a reading since it's not a electronic device with batteries, but I feel you get a better handle on a ph reading

I went through about 6 of the cheap hydro meters. The ones with the green plastic housing. They worked well, but they eventually all lose their tips in the soil. Very frustrating. I even tried bonding one with contact cement, but eventually lost the tip in the soil. So I decided to give this meter a try (yes, it's 3 times the price), but it is AMAZING. I wish I had bought it first. The tip is a screw on tip, so you will not lose it in the soil Just remember, this is still a sensitive piece of equipment. If it doesn't go into the earth relatively easily, STOP. Don't go any further. If you use it properly, it will do the job. Any failure or negative reviews I've read here are purely OPERATOR ERROR. Ignore them (as you can with most negative reviews). After using cheap meters and being utterly disappointed, this product is an absolute JOY. It's very well made and does exactly what it's supposed to do.
