Thanks, Richard,
I think that for a $9 investment for the time being, I can use that for mostly potted plants anyway, until later on in the summer when I prepare the beds for my bananas that have been in captivity until now. I just wanted to get a feel from you whether it can give reasonable readings, with strict adherence to manufacturer's directions. I don't mind if it's off by 20%.
Perhaps the Omega meter would be the most practical, though I have reservations because I might need something for hydroponics application, which the Hanna meter may be a better choice.
I found a source on the net for the Hanna for $112! But for right now, it may be a bit of an overkill.
