Soil
pH has a major impact on nutrient availability. If your soil is
much above or below the neutral pH of 7 your plants may not be
taking up the nutrients supplied in compost of fertilizers.
This hand-held meter provides a simple and convenient way to
monitor soil pH. Readings may vary throughout your garden and it
is worthwhile to regularly check levels. Simply place the 15 cm
long probe into the soil, stir once or twice to ensure even
distribution over the surface of the probe, wait 60 seconds for
the reading. Take this tool with you when purchasing soil
amendments in bulk (mulches, potting mix, etc)
The expandable ‘curly’ cable allows for testing of hard-to-reach
areas such as hanging baskets or areas obscured by foliage. The
probe can also slide into the back of the meter, enabling
one-handed use.
Included is a plant pH preference list.

REFRACTOMETER
Refractometers use a drop of plant sap to measure
sugar, mineral
and
protein levels in plants and fruit. An optimal reading means the
plant is better able to resist the pressures of pest, disease
and
temperature extremes, is fully ripe, has longer shelf life
and
better yields. It includes instructions
and
a comprehensive list of optimum brix levels for different crops.
This tool will help you to manage your plants for maximum
nutritional benefit, maximum impact from fertiliser applications
and
minimum pest impact.
