How To Collect The Best Sample?

  • Updated

Collecting Your Soil Sample

Directions: 

  1. Using a clean soil probe or hand trowel, collect soil from 5-7 separate
    locations/ spots within your desired testing area.
  2. The soil should be collected from the surface down to a depth of 6 inches (0-
    6”). A shallower depth is ok if the soil is too hard.
  3. Place the soil in the MySoil box, clean plastic bag, or bucket.
  4. Composite the collected soil by mixing thoroughly and breaking up any large
    chunks. Samples should be free of any large plant material and other debris.
    (Some small debris is OK!)
  5. Using the provided scoop, collect one level scoop of the mixed soil and add it to
    the jar containing DI water and nutrient adsorbing capsule. Tightly secure the lid!
    DO NOT DUMP WATER OUT OF JAR.
