My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Soil pH Meter

I really would like to get into testing my soil; however, am stuck between a chemical test kit or a meter. Which is the best? Analog? Digital? Any input will be helpful. Thanks
