Soil Testing

Can samples be taken when soils are wet?

Soil moisture generally does not affect the test results. However, taking soil samples when wet can affect the depth of core samples taken. Therefore, allow soil to drain before sampling. If soil is too wet to till, then it is also too wet to sample.
