Collecting soil samples is important, but which equipment should you use?
While a shovel or trowel will do the job, taking multiple samples can be strenuous and getting a uniform sample can be difficult. Probes are great at creating a uniform sample but have trouble collecting compacted soils. So, what’s the solution?
A sweatless soil sampler! Today, we’ll look at how to build a soil sampler for your farm. Originally developed by Oklahoma State University, this design was modified by both CFSA and Clemson Cooperative Extension. It’s simple and cheap to make, so check out our video and partner links for more information!
