Gonna test the pH level in the soil where I will plant my trees in a couple weeks. Does anybody have recommendations for a meter or testing kit they've found particularly reliable? I read some bad reviews on one I was looking at and it occurred to me to come back here and ask.

I will add that I'm also interested to know if it's a kit that does/tests other stuff well too - most of the kits I've seen are multi-purpose and I imagine a day will come when I might be interested in some other kind of soil analysis beyond the pH. Even if just for curiosity's sake.
