Pretty skeptical at first, but it works fine.
Having paid twice to send off soil samples at a decent cost, I was hesitant to buy something this cheap, but I wanted something to check PH in the large container and raised garden beds I have. So I chanced it on this and tried it out in my already tested ground soils from the same location that I sent in two previous sample. While it is hard to read it exactly like those given the scale, I find it to be pretty much right on. My two previous tests came in at 6.4 and 6.6 and from what I can tell from this little gadget it is right there in that range. . I bought this for the PH function and don't really care about the light and moisture functions. I'd say give it a try, you can always return it. I'm pleased.
