Has anyone used the Bio Logic PH Meter for soil tests?
Is it accurate enough for food plots. I seen one at Gander for $20.00

I HAVE ONE. I DON'T KNOW HOW ACCURATE THEY ARE BUT IT BEATS NOTHING AT ALL

I'll ditto that. I have one and it does tell a difference. In a plot under a bunch of pines it reads a good bit different than one that has spent 40 years as a powerline right of way. Maybe not "exact" but a good place to start.

I bought one of those $20 units. A pot I started tested at 6.8. I then sent the same soil in for testing and it cameback with a PH of 8. The plot was in the edge of a field that i had limed twice in three years. The little testor was off by 1.2 points.

Russ- Send that thing back!! It is supposed to be with in 1/10th of a point when used correcty. I know you are a pretty knowledgabe guy so I assume you followed the instructions. I am pretty sure Biologic will exchange it if it's defective.

I have one as well and it has proven to be very accurate when used properly. If you just stick the wand in the ground and don't follow the directions it tends to be a little "off."

Overall, if you are looking to just test your PH this (biologic ph meter) is a decent option but you really can't do better then a soil sample. I am sure many on here will argree how important it is to know exactly what you are dealing with and what you need beyond just lime. TGK

Thanks Folks.
