Rapitest Meter - any thoughts
We've seen plenty Moisture level, acid/alk and sunlight meters, but this one
includes P, N and potash content :- http://tinyurl.com/pdhvfyz Sounds a bit too cheap to be true. Has anyone used one? TIA. |

Rapitest Meter - any thoughts
"Chris Hogg" wrote in message ... snip As for NPK, I don't think so! The lowest scale on the dial reads 'FERTILISER', and the scale itself has three divisions: 'TOO LITTLE', 'IDEAL' and 'TOO MUCH'. Big deal! I've no idea how they pretend to measure pH. I use a set of paper test strips when I want to know the pH of a soil, although I have actually got a proper laboratory pH meter with glass and calomel electrodes, but the paper strips are quicker. The test kits you can get from garden centres, where you shake up some soil in water and add a few drops of indicator dye and read the colour off a chart are also OK. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money. Thanks, yes you're right - a bit of a gimmick. |
