I am tired of guessing the PH of my plant soil I use Leisure Time Pool strips from the run off but I want one of those meters that you stick in the soil. Do they work? What if I have not much money! What do you guys think?

The ones you stick in the soil are useless. Worse than useless because they are so inaccurate. The test strips are better.

Snag a $20 digital pH pen off ebay, like the Milwaukee 600. Better if you can afford it.

Plenty to choose from here.

if you start with a good quailty potting soil mix and don't over feed your plants i wouldn't worry about ph.

Avoid the Milwaukee 600 if you can.
