Not sure how safe i'd be using this

Before I get people telling me that I can go and pick up a package of litmus paper to test the compost that I have.....it's not that easy, see for one I don't drive, and secondly I don't know of anyone willing to drive me into town just for some measly litmus papers. With that being said, I vaguely remember reading a few chapters in a collection of gardening books my mother had....the overall concensus was this....on average compost should have a ph reading between 6.0-8.0....granted those gardening books were made in the late 80's....so the information I gathered was outdated....but I figured the gardening principle hasn't changed much, if at all.

So to my fellow growers, how high should the ph reading be for compost???

Thank you, comments welcomed.
