When you place an order for the service you will be sent a pack for the number of samples you require. This will include a soil probe, sample bags and return packaging. Accompanying the pack will be our user-friendly guide that explains exactly how to take a representative soil sample. The soil probe is used to extract cores to a uniform depth across the entire field area and the guide will also explain how to:-

• Safely use the probe.
• The correct method for sampling.
• The correct number of cores for the area tested.
• Which areas you should avoid testing.
• How to identify poor soil structure.
