Would this also be a good kit to test the ph of a lawn (sod)? Having some yellowing grass issues.

take soil samples to your local extension office and they will give you a full analysis of your soil including ph. Do not use the rapid test strips as they are not even close to accurate.

This product is capable of testing the ph of your lawn, but I would use a ph tester that had smaller increments of the ph level (as in fractions or decimals).

Seems like overkill. One jug of Drive will do your size lawn 10x over. Hose sprayer, 4-5 TBsp per gallon ratio. In my sprayer I add 12 oz of Drive and 2 oz of surfactant. (Always use surfactant!) Seriously for you I would just go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a $12 bottle of crabgrass & weed killer. Save your money.

Yes its a great product! I would recommend 1/4 of the suggested amount to be used. First and foremost PH your water!!

I don't calibrate the meter. It works right out of the box for humidity level. I do not use the ph meter or the light meter. May be you can stick in in vinegar and see if it reads about 3

i actually bought this as a test for both soil & hydro however since my crops were ruined my testing did not finish however the one plant i did use this on did give me a bigger amount of buds & i will soon test out my experiment soon but flowering wise id say yes but if you have a bigger grow you would need alot more of this as it can be kind of expensive & there are always cheaper ways of doing it. Best for soil in my opinion but can also be used for Hydro.

Your need keep checking the ph level, once a month. I suggest you go to Salaxx web site I check what they recomend, you can find some information in youtube too.

based on my experience with a different fescue you will probably see some yellowing for a period of time, my grass recovered. I found bermuda grass to be a tough opponent and ultimately resorted to multiple applications roundup that are continuing more that a year multiple applications of Ornamec....

It depends on the makeup of your soil. No one can really give a definitive answer unless they know what your soil is and what you intend to plant. You can get a free soil pH test from your Master Gardener office and while there they can tell you about your soil and how much water is needed for what kinds of plants.

Although I no longer have a lawn to care for, I used these for years to check deep moisture levels for my lawns. The long probe is well suited for this. I would encourage you to purchase at a local hardware store as I have had to return several to find one that works properly over the years. They last for several seasons at best.

Test the alkaline level of the water periodically after a few months of use. You can find the ph comparison chart on the internet.

Hi Carla, Not sure if this is what you want. I bought it for testing the ph in our club kitchen dishes rinse water. Turns out this is the right one. 2 places to check for the right kind: local health department (they set me straight) and county extension agency. good luck

I would strongly doubt it. The chemistry of rice and soil have no resemblance to each other and I think the device is designed to interpret its readings based on the chemistry of the soil. I would assume that rice with a different chemistry would not produce correct results. I would also think the relevant range of pH would be quite different.

Great name! Thanks for the question. The ph range is from 6.0-10(in the red) - end padThis test kit is nice and easy, tests for Bacteria, lead, pesticide, nitrates and PH. I have been testing evrey 2-3 months since I am in PA along the fracking belt and recently my township has converted to Philadelphia public water, no more well water. All the best!

Yes. Any water. Strips are not as accurate as master test kits but are good enough to see if you have a problem. Much easier

A standard litmus kit cannot accurately test the pH of water due to the chemical traces on the strip and the reaction process..... Seriously? Those chemical traces and the reaction process are EXACTLY how pH is determined. This is like saying a speedometer can not be used to measure speed because it measures distance traveled over time...... /smh

i have only used them for testing drinking water and they do not work. the ph level does not change colors. you should go to a home depot type store and get a soil testing kit from their garden department. i should have returned this product but since i forgot too now it's wasted money.

There is no reason it would not. I also used it for rough soil pH estimate.
