Hi There,

Anyone here using a  Electrical Conductivity Meter to monitor your soil
and if so what  are your experiences does it give useful information?

Cheers
Anthony

My Mission is to grow nutrient dense food and teach what I have learnt to any one who will listen.

Salinity in soil can present some significant limitations to plant growth and soil function.  If you Google nrcs soil electrical conductivity you should see several easy to understand publications on the subject, including testing with an EC meter.

Used one 10 years ago to verify conductance  when I installed an electric fence. Good to  know there's other uses.
