Subject: PH Meters


     It has been my experience that those cheap pH meters sold in garden
     centers (about $20 US) are really worthless crap. I would get wildly
     fluctuating readings on the same sand/peat mix all the time. I
     somtimes would get pH's of 9 or 10 in pure distilled water. I also
     got basic reading from tomato juice which is acidic. IMHO if you are
     serious about measuring Ph you need a real lab grade pH meter.
     However, these are expensive.
