What do you guys use to test soil PH

[420benz]

I see ph testing strips, and testing meaters that test for moisture, light and ph. Are they as simple as just sticking a meater into the ground ?

Most off the shelf instruments have very limited capabilities. Moisture meters are completely useless. pH meters can give a reasonable indication. Light meters have minimum use. A brix meter has a bit of merit, but limited. An experienced gardener can generally determine soil conditions by plant growth, particularly in a typical small backyard garden.
