Q: Does this need batteries?
No, this soil pH tester generates enough voltage from a chemical reaction between its bi-metal probe and your soil to move the needle, so no batteries, tablets or paper strips are required.
AB927 - Soil pH Meter
You can easily check the pH level of your garden soil with this quick-read meter, ensuring that your plants have the correct balance for healthy, vigorous growth. It requires no tablets, paper strips or batteries – chemical reactions between the bi-metal probe and acidic or alkaline soil produce enough voltage to make the indicator needle move, measuring pH from 3.5 (strongly acidic) to 9 (strongly alkaline). All you need to do between test locations is wipe the dirt off the probe. The 26 1/2" long cord lets you insert the 4 1/4" probe into the soil with one hand and hold the meter in your other hand to easily read the results.
A chart listing over 430 plant species and their preferred pH range is provided, along with instructions for adjusting the pH of your soil. Includes a cleaning pad for removing any oxide that accumulates on the probe between uses. A simple way to check the pH of your garden soil.
The pH meter is also available in a set with the moisture meter.
No, this soil pH tester generates enough voltage from a chemical reaction between its bi-metal probe and your soil to move the needle, so no batteries, tablets or paper strips are required.
As a soil ph meter, it reads soil pH from 3.5, strongly acidic, up to 9, strongly alkaline, covering the range most garden soils fall into.
Wipe the dirt off the probe between test locations, and use the included cleaning pad to remove any oxide buildup over time.
The included chart lists the preferred pH range for over 430 plant species, so you can compare your reading and adjust the soil as needed.
