Hello,
I have a large pile of ash from burning leaves, wood, limbs, pine straw etc, and I've read that ash can be helpful to plants if my soil ph is not over 7.5.

My questions is, how do you test your soil and what tools are used.

Im looking to test my soil soon and see some cheap and expensive testing kits on amazon.

thanks


I have some old pH papers I use from my lab days. Just touch moist soil.
No special equipment needed. They should not have trouble finding. I
see it at Amazon.
