Taking the measurement:
Moisture measurement:
- Set the slider to the moisture measurement position (MOIST).
- Insert the metal tip (spike) of the meter into the ground (5 to 10 cm). The operation should be performed very gently so as not to damage the meter and the roots of the plant.
- After a while, read the value on the scale of the device and refer the indications to the level of soil moisture recommended for a given plant.
pH measurement:
- Set the slider to the pH measurement position (PH).
- Insert the metal tip (spike) of the meter into the ground (5 to 10 cm). The operation should be performed very gently so as not to damage the meter and the roots of the plant.
- The reading should be taken after a minimum of one minute on the scale of the device.
Illuminance measurement:
- Set the slider to the lighting measurement position (LIGHT).
- Point the light meter window towards the light source. The degree of illumination will be shown on the scale.
Taking a measurement:
The meter will not work in very dry soil.
Immediately after each measurement, wipe the paper sensor (probes on the metal ends) of the meter with a cloth or towel.
Do not put the meter directly into water or chemical solutions.
Plants should only be watered when the meter readings are lower than recommended. In the case of regulating the pH of the soil - we use all fertilizers in relation to the measurement results.
Reading interpretation:
1. Insolation, from 0 to 2000 lux; 0-200 low; 1000-2000 high insolation;
2. Soil acidity, pH - from 3.5 to 8 pH; 3.5-6.5 acidic soil; 7 neutral; 7-8 alkaline soil.
3. Soil moisture. humidity, from 1 to 10; 1-3 dry; 4-7 neutral; 8-10 wet;
Remarks:
Parameters such as pH (acidity) and soil moisture have a fundamental impact on the healthy development and beautiful appearance of the cultivated plants, as well as the size and quality of the crops obtained. So if you want to raise the level of cultivation of your vegetables, fruits and flowers to a higher level, be sure to equip yourself with our device. Thanks to the device, in a quick and easy way you will learn all the above-mentioned soil parameters both on your plot, in your home garden, greenhouse, balcony and in pots with house flowers! Our tester will also work well during lawn care.
Knowing the pH of the substrate greatly facilitates planning and then maintaining optimal conditions for crops. Most garden plants grow best in slightly acidic or neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0). In such soil, beneficial microorganisms develop, and minerals are easily available to plant roots. In soil that is too acidic, beneficial bacteria die and mold fungi develop, and many minerals form chemical compounds that are insoluble in water.
Sulfur is added to lower the pH of the substrate, and lime is added to increase it. Since the amount of these additives depends on the type of soil, when choosing them, you should use the appropriate gardening guides. Lower doses of sulfur (lime) are used for light soils - with a low content of humus, higher doses for fertile soils - rich in humus. Maintaining the appropriate pH of the soil is achieved by using appropriate fertilizers.
