How do you measure soil pH ?

I have an electronic pH meter that I use on water or feed water just before watering. This seems accurate. But how do you manage to know the pH of your soil. I also have an 3in1 ground tester (Humidity, enlightenment an pH). pH is always at 8 with this method. Is it accurate ?

water until you have a little runoff and collect that water, let it settle and take your reading

Hey Growmie, I hate to be the one to tell ya but no it's not accurate, especially if it's always at 8. To check the ph of the soil you'll just need to check the ph of the runoff this will tell you the ph of your soil. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember ...

Doesn't sound very accurate. As most soils PH is around 5.9-6ph. 8 would be way to high for soil. I really thinking you are getting a false reading pal.
