Ph Test Kit
    #5958635 - 08/13/06 09:11 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Sometime last week there was a post about how soil test kits they sell at home depot are shit aren't worth the drive. The person also said that the kind you find at the pool store are more reliable. So, I was wondering if that went for all types in general for Ph test kits in the pool department. I picked one up the other day at Wally Word but I haven't used it yet. Just looking for input from someone who had used this type of kit. Thx

Fish and pool ph test kits are designed to test water. Soil test kits at a garden center are designed for testing soil. If you're testing soil, compost or casing material, the latter is what you want. If you're testing a pasteurization bath, you want the former.

Of course, you can squeeze out some moisture from your compost and test that with the pool test kit, but I'd suggest the other if it's available.
