PH Testing

Hi all. I’m having a go at making my own potting compost this year and I’m looking for an accurate PH test. The reviews on line are so mixed and the market looks to be flooded with a great deal of rubbish so I wondered if anybody here had a tried and trusted meter or kit they would recommend?

    Why do you think you need to check the pH?
    Unless you're growing something that needs a very low pH almost any mix will be fine in terms of pH.
    The majority of plants are happy in a very wide pH range.

    I’m aware of that but I’m mixing a lot and if I’m expending all that effort I want to at least know what my starting point is.
