It measures the soil fertility and shows you what nutrients are missing. It also measures the soil s pH. The scale runs from six to ten. Anything between six and seven is considered ideal. As you can see, mine is running a little acidic at five point eight, which means I have to add lime. The test will also tell you what other amendments you need to add to make your soil better.
Healthy soil means a healthy garden.
