USE OF THE OCTA-SLIDE VIEWER
The Octa-Slide Viewer should be held so non-direct light
enters through the back of the viewer. With sample tube
inserted at top, slide the Octa-Slide bar through the
viewer and match with color standard.
USE OF THE GREENSKEEPER SOIL SAM PLER
Pass the solid brass rod through the holes in the hollow brass tube to form a
handle. Brush away grass or leaves from the area to be sampled. Holding the
handle, push the hollow tube firmly, with a twisting motion, into the soil to the
desired depth. Pull the tube straight up to remove it from the soil. Remove the
solid rod from the sampler. Insert the solid rod into the tube and firmly push
out of the soil sample.
