How to Use
Fertility Testing:
1. Remove approximately 5 cm of topsoil. Mash the soil down to a depth of 13cm and clean any organic impurities such as leaves or roots.
2. Wet the soil with water before testing.
3. Clean the probes with a wipe or tissue.
4. Switch to fertility testing mode.
5. Insert the electrode (above 60mm) into the soil and wait about 10s before reading the value.
6. Record the data and remove the tester from the soil. Clean and dry the probes.
PH Testing:
1. Repeat steps 1 and 3 from Fertility Testing.
2. Wet the soil with rainwater or distilled water before testing.
3. Switch to PH testing mode.
4. Wet all three probes and clean the right probe with a wipe or tissue.
5. Insert the whole electrode into the soil, wait about 1 minute, and then read the value.
6. Follow step 6 from Fertility Testing.
Note:
1. Avoid hitting stones or inserting the device with too much force. Always clean the electrode after use and never immerse it in water for testing.
2. Refrain from leaving the tester inserted in the soil for extended periods to prevent damage.
3. Some minor variation in size and color may occur due to manual measurement and different light conditions but will not affect the quality of the product.
