It's very important you know what's happening in your medium before you place things in it. Even if you're using litmus paper, it's better than nothing.

yes, checking your PH is VERY VERY important.. you may just be fortunate and live in an area that has water with a PH of 6.0-7.0

But you should definitley check it... If PH problems occur they can drastically reduce your yield..

The link above is a simple PH kit.... some stores even sell them for $3.00

GOOD LUCK

yeah.. forget those PH kits.. get one that has drops that you mix with a sample of the water... don't worry about the soil... unless you are growing outside.. JUST TEST your WATER

YES absolutley... this is the most important element.. I am sorry if I was not clear about that before..

you want to test the water...

the water is the vehicle that delivers the food to your plant... If the water is not 6.8 PH .. then your plant can't eat the food..

I have NEVER tested soil...... never needed too...

It would be cool to test a few different brands of soil out .. just so you know what you are starting with... or not and just go out and play frisbee instead.. : )
