How can I measure the pH of soil?
assistant
To measure the pH of soil, you will need a soil pH test kit, which is available at garden stores and online. The kit typically comes with pH testing strips or a pH meter. To use the pH strips, take a sample of soil and mix it with water. Dip the strip into the sample, wait a few seconds, and then compare the color of the strip to the color chart that comes with the test kit to get the pH value. For a pH meter, simply insert the probe into the soil sample and the pH reading should be displayed on the meter.
