pH Levels
    #5291223 - 02/12/06 11:42 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I have this tester http://shop.store.yahoo.com/cspoutdoors/kelwaysoilphd.html and I think it is reading incorrectly or it might be the incorrect tool to use. I started off my 50/50 casing with an indicated pH of 6.5. I have read in various posts that 7.5 is optimal so I decided to add lime powder that I got from Myco Supply to raise the pH. However, the more lime I add, the lower the pH gets according to my tester. Any suggestions?

Well, that certaintly isn't right. I'm not sure if PH meters can be calibrated... you could grab some testing strips from Lowes or wherever and use that to see if the tester is off.

Try using a small ammount of casing material and see if you get the same results, load it up with lime and see what happens. If it's bunk, send it back for another one.
