Hey guys, I'm struggling to find how to effectively measure TDS of my peat moss. I'm aware that you have to mix your peat with your water, but I think it has to sit for X amount of hours and I'm not sure what the peat to water ratio should be. Any help?
EDIT:
So I found a link saying to do a 1:1 ratio of peat and distilled water and let it sit for 24 hours. Does this sound right?
Also, how much peat do you need for a reliable reading? I'd love to be able to use the peat in my pot rather than using the raw peat from that bag that has never been watered before. The only problem is that I can't afford to remove a lot of it.
