FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does this test measure?
This test measures the pH level of soil, indicating how acidic or alkaline the soil is. Soil pH plays an important role in how well plants absorb nutrients.
How accurate are these soil pH test strips?
The strips provide reliable, colour-based results suitable for general soil testing and gardening use. They are calibrated specifically for soil and offer a quick indication of pH within the 3.5–9.0 range.
How do I use the strips for best results?
For best results, collect soil from below the surface, mix it with purified water as instructed, and compare the colour change on the strip to the chart after the recommended time. Always follow the included instructions carefully.
What do unusual pH readings mean?
Unusual readings may indicate soil that is too acidic or too alkaline for certain plants. This can affect nutrient availability. Adjustments such as soil conditioners or fertilisers may help bring soil pH into a more suitable range.
Can these strips be used for anything other than soil?
No. These strips are designed for soil testing only and should not be used for water, medical, or diagnostic purposes.
