Thanks for the pH reading, Franz. As for the electric probe,

your advice
has come too late! I bought one of these at Christmas and I

agree that
they're worthless. I tested it with water, vinegar, and soil

that I knew
was acidic, but the needle never moved from neutral.

battery not included? :-)


Battery not required (hmm, I'd best double-check that). I exchanged

it for
another one, but that was just the same.


They don't need a battery.
There is really no way of describing them, except as tokens of
gratitude for the money you handed over.


I understand that they can also be used for
measuring osmosis in plastic yachts
frightening away female mosquitos
curing rheumatism
removing warts
