Meters in Aldi
Aldi has (or had ) moisture and pH meters in stock at about £3.50 each.
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.

David Hill 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.

Bertie Just an update : got a box of cattle manure today. Quite surprised that it was almost on the max end of the alkaline scale. In contrast I checked the compost heap and bin and found it between neutral and acid. I know courgettes grow quite well on the compost heap. Bertie |
