Don't be afraid of the little reagent kits, they're easy to use and accurate and cheap! Think of them like little science kits. :)

I don't trust the ph part (and didn't buy one for that) but the water sensor seems to be good enough (is it dry or not?) based on knowing when I last watered .

Agreed. This post is confusing. The water sensor part is great. No clue about the pH thing. No clue about ph in general.
