Soil pH Meter

Soil pH Meter is an Item that makes Flowers spawn on soil instead of Weeds.

General Description
Soil pH Meter is an Item that can be found within common locations, including choice enemy Camps, given by Spouses, and rarely as a reward from Seasonal Festivals. Upon being picked up, all future Weeds that would normally spawn on the player's soil will instead spawn as Flowers. The effect does not apply to hard crust; any Weeds will continue to grow there as normal. Note that this Item does not cancel out the Herbicidal Soil; the former takes dominance over the latter.

Comparison
Compared to other means of removing Weeds, Soil pH Meter serves as one of the most direct and quickest means to do so, as it requires minimal effort on the player's or other means' part to deal with Weeds. This is due to how Flowers can be quickly harvested with the Harvest Circle, unlike Weeds. In addition, it can also act as a source of Cashews, due to the profitability of the Flowers. Because of this, other means of cutting Weeds on the player's soil will become strictly unnecessary, such as Herbicide and Weed Wacker. However, the downside to this Item does not make it superior in absolutely every regard to other methods of cutting Weeds, as they will still be able to spawn on hard crust. This can make this Item useless when dealing with Weeds towards the edges of the Farm. Due to this, the player will likely still want to retain other means of cutting Weeds. Compared to Herbicidal Soil however, this Item outclasses it in every possible regard. This is due to how Soil pH Meter can effectively do the same job as Herbicidal Soil while also acting as an additional source of Cashews from spawning free Flowers. Due to this, the player will likely want to take Soil pH Meter over Herbicidal Soil nearly every time.
