Growing Media pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) Testing

Knowing the pH and Electrical Conductivity or EC of your growing media can help you to grow better and more consistent crops. Testing procedures aren't difficult and can be done at minimal cost. This video shows a process for carrying out a practical on-site pH and electrical conductivity test on growing media.

Thanks for the video. Would be great to have a brief note on interpreting the results - eg what's a typical EC range, and what's that mean.
