Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of soil should be sampled with soil sampling kits?
These kits can sample any type of soil in any terrain. The soil sample should be extracted from a relatively undisturbed soil surface.
What is the use of hammers in soil sampling kits?
These hammers are ideal for hammering the auger in case the soil surface is extremely dry. Punching in the auger eases off the soil sampling procedure.
How long can the soil samples be stored?
The extracted soil sample is immune for up to 4 years. After this period, the sample should be lyophilised.
What are the things to be considered before sampling soil?
Testers should avoid wet spots, spoil banks and eroded areas while taking a soil sample.
