Hi everyone,

I am looking for a portable and reliable soil PH tester to bring with me in the field. Any suggestions?

Thanks, and lets go spring!

Check the search feature. I seem to remember a discussion before. Kiril has used various ones and had some recommendations.

The ice cream cone shaped one works well.

Ferry Morse makes an inexpensive meter. Accuracy--probably not outstanding. But you just polish electrodes, stick it into the soil and read the scale.
Usually less than $20. Other brands similar, like J&M instruments.

This is the best deal I have seen to date for relatively accurate direct measure field results

Kelway meters are significantly cheaper and work well.
