 Hello, I'm Mick. Today I will show you how you can measure pH of your soil very quickly. pH matters because it says something about the needs of your soil and its potential to grow certain plants and trees. To do the pH test, we need a bag or box to mix our soil, some pH paper and a pH color chart, a cup and water. Then we'll mix soil from at least three different points representing each of the zones you want to study. Then we fill a cup two-thirds full with soil and add water to this cup so that the soil is completely covered. We stir well for one minute. Then we completely immerse our pH strip in the soil solution for three seconds. Move the strip and rinse quickly with the same water as was used in the soil solution. Finally, we hold the pH paper up to the light and compare color to the color chart. We then identify and record a pH value in our datasheet.
