I am attempting to test my soil I used a coffee filter in the actual holder where you would put coffee if you were to make a pot and this is taking forever to drain through to the glass? I could have brewed two pots of coffee by now and I have about an ounce of water through the strainer is this normal or do I have a soil issue? Any opinions would be appreciated I will try to do the same procedure with straight potting soil to see what type of difference there is in the straining time. It could be me being over anxious but it seems too long to me (a beginner)
When I do a slurry test which is I assume you mean by soil test I stir in ph neutral water and my soil 2 to 1 and let it settle a hour or so go back suck some off the top with a dropper and use the liquid ph drops to test on a slurry . You can strain the water through a pair of old socks or the toe of panty hose also .
