About This Product
An auger is turned into the ground by the tee handle, and the soil that collects on the head is lifted out and kept for testing. Because the soil structure is broken up, these are disturbed samples, which suit laboratory tests such as moisture content, grain size and plasticity but not tests that need the natural structure of the soil. Extension rods let the operator reach greater depths, and the choice between blade and screw type depends on the ground being sampled.
