Barbalee said:Awesome, Thomas! Did you wet the dirt in some distilled water to get a reading? I just don't know exactly how even this would work!

It was raining hard enough that I caught some water in a small plastic bowl and added the dirt to the rain water to make a "soup". Otherwise I would have used distilled water. It is really quite easy and the test strips are so cheap you can make as many test each year as you like. I plan to test my gardens at least once at the start of each year.
