Test soil EC at any time

Your plant needs adequate amount of nutrients for optimal growth. Testing soil EC is a quick, simple and inexpensive way to figure out, how much nutrient is actually available for your plant. Track the available nutrients, test your soil EC level at any time in few simple steps.

 

collecting soil to test soil EC

1. Collect samples of soil from the test area. (The soil should be taken from the same depth below the surface each time you test.) It is suggested to take at least two samples per test. The more samples, the more accurate the measurement will be. Take more samples around your plant and mix them. You will get a homogenous sample.
