- Use a pH meter to find this out.
- Light Intensity
- Use a light meter to find this out.
- Instructions on
how to use a light
meter.
- 1. Push the switch onto the light position.
- 2. Place the light meter on the surface of the ground so that the
light sensor is pointing towards the brightest light source.
- 3. Make sure that you shadow isn't covering the light meter.
- 4. Examine the meter readings while the
meter is in this position. Use the bottom
scale (A-H).
- 1. Push the switch onto the light position.

you must take
when using a
light meter.
- Take recordings at the same time of the day.
- Make sure that the light meter is not under a
tree or in the shadow of a building.

- Instructions on how to use
a moisture meter.
- 1. Push the switch onto the moisture position.
- 2. Carefully place the probe vertically into the soil so it is about 4cm deep.
- 3. If you hit a stone, take out the probe and put it in a slightly different position.
- 4. Examine the readings whilst the probe is in the soil. Use the top scale (1-8)
- 1. Push the switch onto the moisture position.
- Precautions
you must take
when using a
moisture meter.
- Don't force the probe into the ground if it is really dry.
Use a tent peg to create a hole if this happens.
- Make sure that the probe is in the ground at the correct depth.
- Keep the probe in the ground when reading the scale.
- Take more than one reading.

- Instructions on how to use
- 1. Dig a hole in the ground deep enough
to hold an empty yoghurt carton.
- 2. Place an empty carton into the hole, making sure that
the top of the carton is level with the ground.
- 3. Leave until the next day to look at it.
