A. COL LECTING THE SOIL SAM PLE

1.

Divide garden into sampling areas such that each
sample is representative of the soil in which the
plants are to be grown.

2.

Scrape surface litter from top of soil. Take soil from
at least five spots, at random, in each area. Take
sample from six inches below top layer. Avoid
sampling the soil when it is very wet.

3.

Mix the samples taken from each area together.
Place mixed samples in a suitable container, such as
plastic bag or paper cup.
