Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Moisture & pH Meters
I have a large allotment and have found in patches stuff doesn’t grow as well as other areas and with the kit I have found the reason why a shortage of nitrogen.The kit is easy to use and the instructions are easy to follow I would recommend using distilled water to get a true reading.The colour chart is a great help and for the money a great help.

I purchased 2 of these kits to test various samples over my smallholding, each kit varied in the quantity of each chemical in the pots and bottles which i was rather suprised about! The testing involved collecting subsoil, drying it, mixing with water, allowing to settle and finally doing the test! Don't know if this is normal for soil testing as I've never done it before but did seem a rather laborious time consuming activity, especially with the amount of samples i had. The test results come as a colour change of the sample which i have to say tends to be a very wishy washy tone of a colour compared to the colour chart supplied, so the actual level of nutrients in the soil is still a bit of guesswork. So the kit does seem to work, even if the amount of powder and liquid in each kit is not consistant and it is very time consuming and the 80 tests claimed must be individual tests not 80 sets of npk and ph, personally from the kits I used I think you would be hard pressed to get 80 individual tests out of either of them!Read full review

Good value, bad design Bought one and there are so many issues. Although it works OK and the readings seem to be fine, the quality is appalling. Firstly the box: very flimsy and bad design. You open it from the top and it is difficult to grab items inside with the top of the box pressing against you hand. Then the stickers, they are of paper and tend to fall off. If they do, which happened to all my stickers, I now have half quantities left but have no idea which is which! So I cannot use my kit anymore. Finally the plastic tub cover are badly designed. Hard to open, hard to close and then the flap breaks up from the plastic that closed the tub - so you cannot open it anymore! If I was the company director, I would had fired the so called amateur product designer and employed somebody who can design a better kit. Will never, ever buy this brand before purely because of the awful design that will end up wasting my money. (Please see my picture with missing labels that have fallen off due to poor gum, and broken rims that is due to bad design)Read full review

Be warned this is not a walk in the park it requires a lot of input from the user but it is cheap ! interpreting the result is a bit hit and miss . I also purchased a probe soil tester which is a doddle to use and gave me roughly the same results . But i am not a professor and do not have a degree so in conclusion which was the most useful ? sadly i would say the probe . But even better would be taking soil samples and getting the RHS to run their tests but i cannot afford this option .

For a start, the photo was misleading - didn't come with the white moulded plastic, all items just loose in box. Cheap quality. When shaking the small bottles they leak liquid. Instructions misleading and results always seem to be the same and you can't find a match on the colour scale. I suppose you get what you pay for....

Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Found some of the results surprising but enough tests to double check in different areas and there was a sound consistency so overall pleased. People are right about different variations in levels of liquid in tubs so I ordered a bigger box than needed. Would I buy again? Yes I would.
