How am I supposed to estimate the pH value of a given wetland area without specialised equipment?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago
  1. Take a sip. Did you trip balls? Acid.
  2. Take a red wire, black wire, and a clock. Can you power the clock? Alkaline.

Duh.

  1. Determine whether it's a swamp or a marsh.

  2. Tell someone else you did your part, now it's their turn.

Just call it something online, if people don't immediately pop out of nowhere to correct you, then you're probably right.

What, you don't carry pH test strips around as a matter of routine? /s

Lick it. Just a little bit. Just a little snaky lick...

Learn botany. You can tell the approximate pH from the species of plants growing there.

Neat! Didn't know that.

Maybe you can find some red cabbage growing nearby?
