Default How to make a soil test kit???

Pool pH meters do tell you how acid, or how alkaline a soil is. This is a
wee bit more useful than something just telling if it is acid or alkaline.
My dad has a electronic pH meter that I use in the garden, has been very
helpful so far.

If electricity comes from electrons, does that mean that morality comes from
morons?

What I am looking for is what reagents etc are used for the standard
tests for NPK? hey, even I can use litmus so the Ph thing is
whipped.


Litmus is useless for soil testing. You don't want to know if a soil
is acid or alkaline so much as how acid or alkaline it is.




Come on, you wasted a posting! Jeez didn't you see the little smiley icon
behind the litmus sentence. NOW provide me some clues or answers too my
question!
