I loved that cross contamination between the buffer solutions. That "DI" water has a pH value too...should have dried the meter before putting into the next buffer solution.
So, I followed these instructions, put the tip in the buffer solution, watched it while I waited, and it simply goes all the way up to 12.86, then goes blank. I have read and re-read the instructions, as well as watched this video several times through. I cannot seem to find anything I am doing wrong. Did I get a faulty meter?
I don't have this. I decided not to buy it. If I were to buy one, I'd probably buy a Lamotte, the one with a direct soil probe. I didn't buy that either, because it's so expensive. I'm just a home gardener.
That's utter nonsense. A 4-pack of 2032's cost $4.85 to your door on Amazon. It's very difficult to believe you'd use more than a single set of batteries per year.

whew!! the batteries alone will cost $15 to $20 a year. It should have been designed for either a 9V battery or 4 AA batteries.
