Fantastic!!! I ordered this product because my 7th grader son need it for a science project. We couldn't find it at the stores so we decide to order it from the internet. Amazon offered the best price and quality and also very very fast shipping. Thanks!

I initially purchased this product to test the soil's pH. It does a very good job of giving you a general idea of the soil's pH as long as you follow the instructions.
Per a previous review, you must completely submerge the meter into wet soil. If you try to use it on dry soil, or not fully submerged, it won't give you an accurate pH reading. Plus, let it sit in the soil for a few minutes so it has time to adjust.
The other three functions ~ water, light, and fertilize, seem to work OK. They weren't my major focus for purchasing this product. Plus, the instructions were poor and too generalized. That's why I gave this product four out of five stars.
Once again, this is a good product for general pH soil readings. You can get a good idea if your soil is too acidic or alkaline.
I was able to verify the soil's pH, the reading the product was displaying, because I have soil test stripes to confirm the pH level. I want to stop using test strips because they're expensive and I can't reuse them. With this product, there's nothing to replace, such as batteries, or repurchase, such as test stripes.
This is a good value for what it does May 29, 2009

We got this gauge to check the pH of our vegetable garden, but have found that it does so much more. It does check for moisture, it works well for pH, it works good for fertilizer too ... light sensor seems to be the weakest link of this product.
I must also agree about the metal probes bending when inserting it into the ground, so I take some of the soil and mix it up in a tall cup with some water until I get a mud like consistency, that keeps the probes from bending. I realize that is not always possible but it works better for us.
Good value if you are looking to check the basics at a basic price.
Great Value May 3, 2009
