A nice luxury for your wishlist

[Happy]

If you have a rich relative who wants to give you something nice that you don't really need, you might want to ask for a truncheon.

When my gardens don't look right, I like to test the TDS/EC of the nute concentration and the smaller meter I have is hard for my tired eyes to see.
I really enjoy using this when I need to check nute concentrations.

PS. It's a lot larger than you'd think, so it's easier on the eyes.
Edit: I had accidentally typed "seed" instead of "see." 

that is a good one. When I was a meter head, that was my first tool.

“Meter head.” I love it!
 I thought that I remembered your having a truncheon, Corinne.

 And I appreciate it Mike talking about how you can go nuts monitoring your pH as well as TDS so I never went that far :~)

Naw..that was way back on the AerogardenCommunityGrowers Board.

I have had three pH testers and they all died.  I gave up a long time ago on any meters.  I am no meter head, more of a meter killer LOL

I think I need this.   It would be a little pricey, but my cucumbers, in particular, eat a lot and the ph gets unstable. It would be nice to know at a glance when I need to feed them or add some ph up.

That and I feel like someday I should do the nerd thing and dig into Rasberry Pi/Arduino.
