User questions & answers

Question:	what does "plug and read" mean? I'm wondering if there are no batteries, does this have to be plugged in, does it charge from an outlet
Answer:	Hi, After dipping your test strip into the soil/water mix the test strip pads should match one of the vertical columns on the color chart which will correspond to a given pH number. If you are have trouble interpreting the results we are glad to take a look at a picture. You can reach us using the contact information on the box that the test strips came in or through the Amazon messaging system. We do this all the time for customers. We also have example test pictures and a troubleshooting guide on our support site listed on the booklet and label. Please know that we stand behind our products so rest assured we will make sure you are satisfied or we will refund your purchase. Best, Angus
Question:	Soil ph is reading an 8 on every soil does anyone have issues with the soil ph. i even tried in a soil that's ph is
Answer:	The Garden Tutor Soil pH Test Strips are calibrated for soil testing only, so just dipping the test strips into straight water won't give you an accurate pH reading of the water. The strips use reagents that react to the presence of dissolved solids/minerals found in soils.
Question:	My meter just came in and it is showing wildly different readings when I test the same exact spot
Answer:	Hi, Thank you for your question. The Garden Tutor pH test strips are designed to help you zero in on your soil's pH level. So if you are getting truly inconsistent readings, it could be that there are contaminants in your soil that are skewing the results. You should also double-check your results and make sure you are following the test instructions and interpreting your results correctly. The goal is to find the column on the color chart that best matches the colors on the pH strip from top to bottom. This can take a little work. If you think you are getting inconsistent results or want help with interpretation, please reach out to us from our Amazon seller profile and click "Ask a question" We can respond with details on how we can help interpret your results. Please know that we always stand behind our products, so if you are not satisfied, we will make sure you get a full refund Best, Angus
Question:	Can you use this also to check the ph in water before you water your plants or just soil
Answer:	Thank you for your excellent question. The pH of the water can affect your results. In areas that have excessively hard water (water with lots of minerals in it), the pH of the water will be strongly alkaline (pH of 8.5 and higher), and this can impact the reading you will get from your Garden Tutor Soil pH Test Strips. The impact is typically about .5 of a point for pH, but the drift can be up to 1 point. For most gardeners getting a pH reading within .5 of a point is sufficient. Most municipal tap water has a pH of 6.5 to 8.5, so using tap water will be OK but may cause your reading to be off about .5 of a point. If you want to get the best reading possible from your test strips, it's a good idea to use fresh unopened distilled water. You can check the manufacturing date on the unopened distilled water container, and if it is under 30 days old, it should be about a 7.0 pH. When using distilled water, you can be assured that you will be getting the most accurate soil pH reading possible. One of the main reasons distilled water is used for soil pH testing is that it has a low "buffer capacity" and will not meaningfully impact the actual pH reading of a soil sample. It is important to note that the Garden Tutor Soil pH Test Strips are calibrated for soil testing only, so just dipping the test strips into straight water won't give you an accurate pH reading of the water. If you have additional questions, please let us know. We are glad to help. Angus Junkin Garden Tutor

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work well? I'd like to buy one for the light meter
Answer:	I purchased mine for testing the spoil pH and watering needs and they both seem to be very accurate. I do not know how accurate it is for light testing. I do not know what your application is for, but if it's to see how much light is present for growing a garden, then you need a minimum of 6 hrs of sunlight a day, preferably 8. Of course it also depends on what you are trying to grow, some plants need much more than others.
Question:	If my plant falls under the 0-3 red category, does that mean I only water it when the meter indicates that’s where the soil is at
Answer:	Hi! I have a moisture meter and its saving me from over watering which I am prone to do. Some plants like to be moist and some are drought resistant and can tolerate a lack of water and others like flowers need to be water more often because they wither quickly. if you have soil that is a mixture of clay then the clay will hold moisture and the plant won't need water as often. You can go on line and there is a wealth of information including how to water and care for any plant you have. I also sent a soil sample off to the North Carolina Dept of Agriculture so they could tell me about fertilizer. Good luck. Its all on line.
Question:	Do you always have to wait 10 minutes before checking a reading, and when you toggle to a different reading does the 10 min start over
Answer:	Yes, you always have to wait 10 minutes before checking the readings. When you switch to a different reading, start again in 10 minutes.
Question:	I can't get the pH to work, but light and moister do work. What am I doing wrong
Answer:	Since soil most often is in/close to neutral state (with pH value of 7), when you use it to test the pH value of soil, it is highly likely that you find the needle in display window stay still (because the default pH value is set at somewhere between 7 and 8) . The needle will not swing substantially unless the meter in soil with strong acidity or alkalinity. Customers sometimes are misled by this appearance and hence regard the tester as a defective unit by mistake. Here are the steps of How To Use this soil meter: Step 1: Gently wiped the probes all the way up and down with dry cloth a few times before use Step 2: Push the switch to MOIST or PH or LIGHT position Step 3: Stick the probes into the soil 4-6 inches (2/3 of the probes) or more deep Step 4: Adjust the position of the probe until the pointer on the dial swing slightly Step 5: Note moisture/pH/light level in the dial Step 6: Remove probes from soil and wipe clean with dry cloth after each use Tips: This soil meter is designed to measure moisture and ph level of soil, so it CAN ONLY be used in soil, it CANNOT be used to test any liquids, such as pure water, lemon juice, vinegar and so on, or the probes may be damaged.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to test ph in water as well
Answer:	No, you better not do this.Kindly Note: Do not use it to test pure water or other liquids. It can only be used to measure soil.
Question:	Should the plant be watered when it is at the corresponding number or below the corresponding number
Answer:	Yes, our manual has parameters.The test value is lower than this parameter. Please water your plants.
Question:	The needle on my 3 in one soil tester does not move at all. I can’t tell that it measures anything. Followed instructions exactly. Help
Answer:	It should be pre-calibrated to 7 (neutral). Since most soil is neutral, you may not see the needle move much, even after ten minutes. It will take at least ten minutes to give you an accurate reading, at any rate. If you add egg shells (to make it more alkaline) or coffee grounds (to make it more acidic) and wait another ten minutes, you should see a slight change. Try a sample of 50% soil to 50% coffee grounds to see if you can get a more extreme response.
Question:	Can this probe be used to measure the PH of other things such as shampoo
Answer:	No, it can't. This soil meter is designed to measure moisture or ph level of the soil and sunlight level, so it can only be used in soil, it cannot be used to test any liquids(such as: pure water, vinegar, lemon juice and so on), or the probes may be damaged.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I know my plants need watering by soil tester
Answer:	The soil ph value on the meter dial ranges from 1 to 10 (1-3 dry, 4-7 normal, 8-10 wet). If your plant is very dry, the pointer of the soil meter will not swing or swing slightly. This means that your plants may need water. I recommend for anyone with finicky plants, pots without drainage holes, or anyone tired if getting soil under their fingernails!
Question:	What are the TDS meter test for
Answer:	It can used for test the tds value, EC, liquid temperature.
Question:	Without battery? Does that mean the soil tester kit has an internal battery
Answer:	This soil tester doesn't have or need a battery. Just adjust the switch. Very portable and convenient. I used it to my garden, is very accurate.
Question:	Can I use the ph meter to test salt swimming pool
Answer:	Yeah they work on a lot of things, just make sure to clean them after. The pH meter comes with 3 standards to make up and calibrate that meter.

User questions & answers

Question:	After testing, all of the 4 pads on one test strip are different colors and ph. how do i know what the ph level is
Answer:	I have a stucco home and found it to be very effective for removal of dirt, grime, and algae. If the stucco paint is stained, then obviously, it won't help that. I used it on gutters, stucco walls, window frames, deck, and outdoor furniture with great results.
Question:	Can you also use this to test water
Answer:	Hello! Wet & Forget will only remove organic growths such as moss, mold, mildew or algae. It will not remove mineral deposits. If you have further questions feel free to contact us 888-727-8524. The Wet & Forget Team
Question:	Each color on the strip matched a different pH. The blue matched up with 6.0, the yellow with 8.0, the green with 5.5 etc. How to interpret
Answer:	No. My mold is still there after using for many months. This product is "Septic Safe" (which hard to find) so no bleach etc.
Question:	Could the ph of the water used have an affect the results? If so, how would you correct it
Answer:	I used it on brick and in one day the moss was gone and has not returned. For you I would try it on a piece of plastic like a baggie first seems save to me.

Most plants prefer a pH of 6.5

Soil pH determines its acidity (sourness) or alkalinity (sweetness). For gardening, most plants prefer a soil pH between 6 and 7 with 6.5 being your target soil pH.

Maintaining proper soil pH prevents "nutrient lockout"

If soil pH is too extreme for plants, it creates an unhealthy environment by limiting the nourishment that is available to the plants.

Maintaining proper soil pH helps promote growth and vigor

Plants under stress are much more prone to poor health. Keeping pH at the proper level for the plants in your garden is one way to help.

Step 1: Collect a representative soil sample

Using a garden trowel or spade, dig a small hole (about 6 inches deep) and slice a sample from the edge of the hole as if you were cutting a thin slice of cake. Put this sample in a bucket or large container. Repeat this process a few times around your garden site. Mix soil samples thoroughly and remove any stones, grass, etc.

Step 2: Add soil to a cup or testing jar

Using a tablespoon put 8 level tablespoons (4 ounces) of the mixed soil into a clean plastic cup or testing jar and thoroughly mix with 8 level tablespoons (4 ounces) of water for 30 seconds.

Step 3: Dip strip into solution

For best results, let the soil/water solution sit for 20 minutes before testing. Briefly mix solution one more time and wait 10 seconds for the soil to settle a bit and then dip one pH test strip into the solution. Hold the strip in the solution for 3 seconds.

Step 4: Match color pads to color chart

Remove the pH test strip and shake it vigorously to remove any dirt on the pads. Depending on soil pH, some or all the color pads will change color. Match the resulting color(s) with the color chart that accompanied the pH test strips to determine your soil pH. If you are having difficulty choosing a pH, use our simplified chart to zero in on your soil pH.

If Soil Test Kit does not work, Please try doing the following：



Question A： Inaccurate pH measurements

Answer: . Since soil most often is in/close to neutral state (with pH value of 7), it is highly likely that you find the needle in display window stay still (because the default pH value is set at somewhere between 7 and 8) when you use it to test the pH value of soil. Customers sometimes are misled by this appearance and hence regard the tester as a defective unit by mistake.

. Do not use soil test kit to test pure water or other liquids. It can only be used to test soil.

. If the soil is too loose and very dry, try adding some water before testing it.



Question B: Humidity / Moisture does not work.

Answer: If the soil is too dry, the indicator will not move, and water before the test.



Question C: Light does not work.

Answer: To maximize the accuracy of sunlight readings, aim the light sensor on the top of the meter (looks like a miniature mirror) at the sun.

1.Do not leave the meter in the soil for a long time and Please wipe and clean the probe after each use.

2 .Do not force it into very hard soil or touch hard objects since it will be easy to damage the probe.
