Soil Testers and other equipment

Good afternoon,

I'm making out my Holiday wish list and this year, instead of plants, I'm thinking I need equipment. Specifically, I need a good soil tester (I'd prefer not to have to do strips, I'd rather have a probe type) as well as a good light meter. Yes, I know I could just observe the way the light hits my garden and record it, but although I've attempted to to this for over two years, I never quite follow through, life seems to get in the way!!!

Lastly, I saw something called the "Easy Bloom" and I'm half tempted to buy it. It's on the pricey side, which stops me from buying it, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever used it and whether or not they'd recommend it.

I've been gardening for over 12 years and I really enjoy it. But ever since I moved to NC, I don't seem to reap the benefits of my hard work. I know this is due to the very heavy clay soil, but I'm just looking for some strategic tools that will help me work "smarter" instead of "harder" all the time.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!
