From the Manufacturer Luster Leaf 1612 Rapitest pH Soil Tester Review: Quick, Simple, Reliable. Provides a general Idea of soil pH based on color comparison. - I bought this to test the pH of my blueberry soil that I have in half wine barrels. I used 1/3 pine bark mulch, 1/3 sphagnum peat moss, and 1/3 organic potting soil. I mixed it all up well and checked the pH a few weeks later. This quick little kit gave me indication I was at around a 6. I wanted to drop it a bit further so I added some organic acid fertilizer, waited close to 2 months and rechecked. My soil is now around 4.5 to 5. The blueberry bushes love it and they are green (not red and yellow now), growing fast, and have tons of flowers! + Water Dropper Included + Simple Instructions + No Mess + Consistent Results + Takes about 2-3 minutes to take a sample and get a reading + Small Booklet providing details of many different plants, vegetables, and flowers and the soil pH they grow best in _Bottom Line_ Yes, I would recommend this pH kit over other products, such as a soil probe. In my experience this is the fastest, most consistent, easiest way to get an accurate idea of what the pH is. This kit really helped me get my blueberry bushes up and going and I will continue to use the test kit to monitor my soil pH. Review: Works, Easy to Use - Kit includes10 separate PH test capsules; purchase this and can perform 10 separate tests. Easy to use nice little vial to place in sample soil, PH capsule contents, and water. shake around and wait a bit. Hold up to sunlight but not direct sun (important). PH tests are inherently somewhat difficult to interpret. Is it this shade or is it the next over shade. This kit cant fix that. But this kit is easy to use and reliable if instructions are properly followed, especially the light source. ## Features - Quick, at home results for Soil pH - Innovative and inexpensive soil test kit features an easy-to-use capsule system and patented color comparator - Contains all components needed for 10 tests for Soil pH - Simple, detailed instructions included.

Easy to use nice little vial to place in sample soil, PH capsule contents, and water. shake around and wait a bit. Hold up to sunlight but not direct sun (important).

But this kit is easy to use and reliable if instructions are properly followed, especially the light source. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ useful *by C***Q on May 25, 2025* The test worked fine and confirmed my fears that the native soil in my yard is generally alkaline which is not ideal for most plants. I also tested a store-bought potting soil which gave a more favorable pH reading. One caveat to consider is that people often say to "test your soil" as if all soil in your yard is the same. It's not that easy since many mulches, topsoils, composts, fertilizers, and decaying dead leaves could have been added over the years in different areas. If you want to test the "native soil" keep in mind that you might need to dig down a bit to get a proper sample. Good luck. ## Frequently Bought Together - Luster Leaf 1612 Rapitest pH Soil Tester - Garden Tutor Soil pH Test Kit – 100 Strips with AI-Powered Web Reader – Accurate Testing for Lawn, Garden & Compost – pH 3.5–9 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2996134-1612-rapitest-ph-soil-tester](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2996134-1612-rapitest-ph-soil-tester) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
