Karen shows us how to use a commercially available pH kit to test soil.
This is a quick and easy test to perform.

You will need
pH test kit
Garden trowel
Spoon for mixing (optional)

Steps
Scrape back any mulch covering the soil, dig down and place a small amount of soil on the white plastic board.
Drip indicator dye onto the soil and mix with spoon,
Puff over the white powder and wait a minute for colour to develop.
Compare the pH indicator chart with the colour of the soil being tested to find pH level.

Based on the pH result you may choose to include soil additives to change the pH to be more acid or alkaline depending on the plant requirements.
