160 Strips Full pH 1-14 Test Indicator Litmus Paper Water Soil Testing Kit

Useful for the garden

No instructions provided. Useless unless you can read chinese.

Not in English but easy to figure out, worked fairly well

Good price. Simple to use. Don’t know that they are precisely accurate but rainwater run off a shed roof tested as slightly acidic which makes sense to me and if it’s correct then I’ve saved money on buffer that I don’t need. So I’m happy.

Ok i suppose for smaller Japanese finger's, but a bit flimsy for my hands.

Good

Plenty of test strips but everything in a far eastern language - so no instructions for me.

The litmus paper generally works, but it is inaccurate and not sensitive enough to pick up soil readings. I tried it in the kitchen first:baking soda PH=8.5 -- shows as 8.0sea salt PH=7.0 -- shows as 6.0 (amber)milk PH=6.4-6.8 -- shows as 6.0 (amber)beer PH=4.4 -- shows as 5.0 (amber, very slightly warmer)white wine PH=3.2 -- shows as 3.8Colours for PH 5 and 6 in the chart are very difficult to tell apart, both are amber. So, the colours produced by sea salt, milk and beer (actual PH 3.4-7.0) looked almost the same. This is a range of a particular interest for gardeners!Inaccuracy, however is not the main problem. The test requires high concentration of the substance, which is not happening in the soil. When I squeezed a blueberry in a small measure of water, the acidity was not detected, the strip stayed amber. I had to rub the berry on the strip in order to make it go pink. None of the soil tests changed the strip colour. So, shopping for a better test...
