The invention relates to the technical field of soil detectors, and discloses a soil detector for detecting soil acidity and alkalinity properties, the soil detector comprises a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate and a third mounting plate, and the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate and the third mounting plate are sequentially arranged from bottom to top. The soil sampling mechanism is improved, a guide sleeve is arranged, when sampled soil is conveyed to a lifting sleeve, due to the fact that the bottom end of the guide sleeve is subjected to closing-up treatment, blocky soil is ground at the closed-up position in the conveying process, the ground soil is granular, the granular soil is conveyed by a spiral conveying guide strip, and the soil sampling efficiency is improved. The soil entering the lifting sleeve can be ground again, so that the soil is in a sand grain state, and the device has the advantages that after the sampled soil is ground, in the detection process, the pH value in the soil can be more conveniently released, the pH value releasing and diluting speed is increased, the detection efficiency is improved, and more time is saved.
