NPK and pH analysis continued...

Sunday, January 28, 2007

I went to the train station this frigid morning for another three hours to get ahead on my internship quota for the week. It went faster this time. I got into a rhythm and timed the testing just right with the various mixings and waiting for reactions, ect. I even boogied to country on the radio (which seemed to be the only good station that came in clear out here), since I was alone in the lab. I managed to get through five more samples before I ran out of Stock Solution for the Potassium test. I tried using the red pH probe instead of the green one this time, and it seemed to work a bit better as it didn’t keep rising quite so much. The results are still coming out pretty much the same for all the samples. I put my results into an excel spread sheet this time. Only seven more vineyard samples and the garden sample to go!
