Time to collect a sample
After you have determined the different areas that you will sample, you will need to collect samples. You should collect 15 to 20 independent samples from each area. Each sample should include the soil profile to a depth of 4-6 inches. Remove all organic materials (sod, leaves, etc.) from the samples and dump each sample into a bucket for a composite sample. Mix the composite sample together well and then place composite sample in bag or box supplied by soil lab. Fill out the paperwork and mail/deliver to the lab.
