Thanks for responding.... I'm going to start using EC to check my fertilizer.
Do you have any experience with Hanna Instruments Hi 98129 Combo Ph /Ec/Tds/?C Tester. I was reading a article writen by David Mellard and this was one he recommended.
I don't have any experience with the combination meters.
pH meters require more care than EC/TDS meters and I use the TDS meter much more often so if I were to decide that I wanted a pH meter instead of pH test strips I think I would want a separate pH meter.
