I bought an electronic soil tester. It was measuring my PH at about
7.3. Maybe it was too cool to get a good reading, but I thought my
soil was more Alkali than the report showed.

Cheap probe testers (maybe yours was not cheap) are not very accurate, the
dye indicator pH kits are more reliable, easier and cheaper for home use.
Why did you think your soil was more alkaline?
