Get a Soil Sample

You will need to gather a soil sample to use in your test!

Label your one quart plastic bag or other container to hold at least 1 cup or 250 ml of soil by:

  • Documenting the location using latitude and longitude coordinates. If possible, you will want coordinates to the nearest 1/1000000 of a degree of latitude and longitude, e.g., Latitude 40.703283, Longitude -75.216078.
  • Documenting depth from surface. Make sure you sample non-organic soils at the site, i.e., soils below the surface topsoil or other surface organic materials
  • Writing your name
  • Writing the date
