scratch the PH levels, i was looking at 2008 records.... thick moment. 2013/2014 report is 7.39..... is this good/bad??
have you been leaving the water to sit out for 24hrs before feeding? usually when you do that the ph will drop but you need it to be at 6.5 for soil, do you still have the bag the soil was in? that should tell you the ph of the soil, you really do need to get a ph pen though, the cheap ones on ebay work but they need calibrated more than the expensive ones.
