Re: PH level of soil
Hi @smithab1c,
A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.
While we do not offer soil testing in our stores, we do sell these Manutec Garden Care Products Soil PH Test Kits for you to carry out the test at home.
The testing is simple, with the steps being as follows:
1. Take a small soil sample on the white mixing plate and add a few drops of indicator dye.
2. Mix the indicator liquid with the soil sample to make a thick paste.
3. Sprinkle white barium powder onto the top of the moist soil paste.
4. The white barium powder changes to a different colour. Compare the new colour against the closest colour on the colour chart to obtain a pH reading.
This will give you an accurate PH reading for your soil.
Let me know what you think and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Jacob
