Branded Gardenline.
The moisture meter seems to work; haven't tried the
pH meter yet.
Try the Ph meter in something like Vinegar, that will
tell you if it
is reading OK, I bought one a couple of years ago
(Not from Lidl) and
the readings were reversed, they sent me a
replacement and that was
the same, but a couple of mins with a saldering iron
and I switched
the wires round and they then read OK.

Thanks for the vinegar tip, my soil moisture, ph and
light meter arrived this week via ebay. Similar model I
guess at £4.95 which incs p&p. I got it mainly for the
moisture measuring and I've tested it on the house and
garden plants and it's fairly accurate.
Next-door got about 2 years use from one of these,
before it gave up the ghost.
