Hi, I am Patti the garden girl, and today, we are going to check the ph level of my pond here. It’s been sitting for a few weeks and I just want to say where were at.
I have here a fresh water test kit and it comes complete with a bunch of different test. Right now, I do not have any fish in here. So, what I want to do is, I want to test just the ph to see whether it is more alkaline or more acidic.
Okay, here is the ph indicator solution. Now, what I have to do is, I got to take this and I am going to put three drop.

Now, I got to cap it and then just shake it like this.
That is already giving me a very very blue reading. We are going to check this little color card and I am going say that we are at a 7.6.
The next thing we are going to do then since we got the highest reading is the high range indictor solution.
Here we go.
This one I am going to put five drops.
(Counting)
Now, I am going to take my little color card here,
And put this two together there.
I think that was reading between a 7.4 and a 7.8 roughly. Now, what does that exactly means is that my water is more alkaline than it is neutral or than it is acidic.
This range right now is a great range for a lot of different types of fresh water fish.
I hope you all will go out and get your own kit and start testing your water, it is a great thing to do with children, I am sure you will be really surprise on how smart your kids actually are if you do get them to do this test with you.
I am Patti Moreno the Garden Girl, thanks for watching.
