ph Meter Help Please

15 years ago

I am in search of an accurate ph meter. I have amended my soil with many organic things and would like to be able to know the ph of the soil. Can anyone recommend a ph tester that is fairly accurate ? I have read many posts and have not been able to find one, Thank you for any help/comments/experiences.

The best and easiest thing to do - is of course - have it checked by a professional testing company. They will also provide the information about the organic percentage along with the nutrients in the soil.

The experience I've had with all pH meters is that they simply are not worth it - unless you spend a good amount of money and get a lab-quality tester.
