How To Take A Soil Sample:
- The soil sample must be representative of your lawn or garden area, pasture, field crops, forages, etc. Here are some tips on improving the accuracy of your soil tests:
- Samples can be taken with a soil probe, pipe, auger, spade or hand trowel. (See diagram below)
- Remove the top debris, residue or turf thatch from the soil.
- Sample gardens, trees, shrubs, flower beds, hay fields, forages and field crops 6 – 8 inches deep. Sample 4 inches deep for lawn and grass pasture fields.
- Randomly zigzag over the area collecting 10 – 15 cores or slices in a clean plastic bucket.
- Do not include cores from any unusual locations such as manure areas, old fence rows, fertilizer or lime spill areas, etc.
- Each core or slice should be taken at the same depth and volume at each site.
- Break up lumps and thoroughly mix the composite sample.
- Place 3 measuring cups of soil in the plastic bag.
- The soil can be sent either wet or dry.
- Be sure to label the bag with a sample description.
- Complete the Soil Sample Information Sheet.
- Send the soil sample(s) to: Holmes Laboratory, Inc. * 3559 US RT. 62 * Millersburg, OH 44654
